The Cursory Nefarious Network (CNN) - A Trump Presidency Poem

Freedom of the press is guaranteed only to those who own one. - AJ Liebling

World stage
curtains open

and enter,
the Puppeteers

lavishly coiffed,
a pageant show.

Teleprompters on
the script begins,

"Live!"

The arms and legs jump,
heads bob to and fro --

as we watch these
modern day Pinocchios

The crowd knows only
what they wish to portray,

"Believe!.. Believe!"

We are a puppetland,
     if we too listen
and move to their command.
