Clown of all Time

It began innocently enough

all thought it was a game

there is no way

voters are too smart

they would not believe that creep anyway.

Commercials abound

tearing down

eroding the very foundation

on which they stood upon.

Clamoring for war

upon silent victims

snarling at the damage done

by enemies real and imagined

until

suddenly everyone

who disagrees

is now an enemy of the state.

Ubiquitous

he became the face of a nation

which was torn down

rent apart

remade into a haven for some

whilst becoming a nightmare

for the rest of the populace.
