The Right - Trump Presidency Poetry Series

We have a saying
in Brooklyn --

If you don't have anything nice to say,
keep it to yourself

The Right is snide
and all about
"my side,"

They point,
"not politically
correct!"

and yet,
their own mouths
askewed
spewing blight

at anyone
who pines
otherwise.

We are a split
nation --

but let's be
honest

there was
always a divide
existing silently
more or less
politely

but now,
we know
where the
line is drawn

and who resides
on which side --
and the gloves
      are off.
