Rise of the Detractors - Trump Presidency Feb 2017 - Poem



About those who propagate Fake News

We are used
to the definition
of Patriot

one who protects the ship
at all costs
even if the cost is life

but now,
there are insurgents
amongst us

detractors
belittlers
back-biters

those who look like us
dress like us,
but are not like us

who'd rather
fill the boat with water
or gauge the boat with holes

claiming to inform

because of them, by and large,
we are divided amongst ourselves

friend against friend
kin against kin
more vulnerable to the foe.

By Mary E. Lohan
