Messiah Complex by Chris Sorrenti
Locked in his own life-long delusion
he egged them on
his blind followers
drunk on Stars & Stripes
Don’t Tread on Me!
conspiracy theories
painted faces
bull horns and all
most unfamiliar with the words
insurrection...sedition
“Fake news!”
he cried
as in the previous 4 years
“We won by a landslide!
They stole the election from us”
as court after court
rejected his lawsuits
for lack of evidence
adding
“I’ll march by your side”
though retreating to the safety
of his White House
to watch it on TV
While the world held its breath
then gasped
as they stormed the Capitol
in a desperate attempt to stop the
Congressional rubber stamp
leaving 5 dead
finally shocking the instigator
into the reality and horror
as to the monster he had created
too late
blood on his hands
And now what words will be used
to describe his legacy?
inmate...pariah?
