I’m definitely one of those folks
suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome,
as I’ve got TDS
to the bone
and it really showed
one day when I was sitting at home
and turned the TV on
just as congressman, Hakeem Jeffries, was asked
“Would you consider seeking an impeachment
for the president?”
and I sat waiting for a reply
such as
“Hell, yeah, can’t wait”
and got, instead,
“We haven’t
ruled anything in
and we haven’t
ruled anything out”
and I couldn’t help but wonder,
as I held back a scream,
“What the hell was that all about”?
and then the pundits
commenced to tout
Jeffrie’s response
as smart,
reasoning that an act of impeaching
a man who is, to me,
a bona fide lout
would be a distraction
from what the country should be about,
leaving me wondering
how many more days
like every single day
in the past decade and a few months
of my so-called Golden Years
am I going to have to wake up
with this overly arrogant,
completely reckless,
totally dishonest,
extremely corrupt,
amazingly opportunistic,
disgustingly chaotic,
naturally divisive
president’s antics
all up in my face?
It’s painful living in a country
sinking in disgrace.
And it flips my lid hearing
television personalities
and congress-folks
dismiss ideas of getting rid of him
with attitudes that say that doing so
is not a panacea,
but a self-defeating political fixation,
with all our issues
around inflation, high prices, and affordability –
because I believe that such matters can be tended to
at the same time
by making the case that he is
the major cause of our misery
and by highlighting
what will be done to bring about
the changes we need.
Such deeds
surely would cure
what ails me.
Ernie thank you for this, I to have been utterly amazed at the lack of concern many democratic leaders – like Jeffries – and the media quite frankly, have shown especially in terms of ICE and the voting rights and so much more.
Ernie McCray, you are a peach! Call ’em as you see ’em, long may YOU reign!
Ernie, everybody in this country…no, it’s the entire freaking world at this point after ten years of constant , We’re all suffering from one form or another of Trump’s Derangement Syndrome.
And who have it the worst? It’s the millions of Trumpers that ‘BELIEVE’ all his lying stupid crap who, despite the reams of evidence and facts, continue to suck his mind poison deep into their brains leaving them helplessly open to the literal ‘Brainwashing’ that is still going on. Religion cults have always been very, very good at this. Remember Jim Jones in Guyana…once they cross the line into this becoming their entire identity, they’re lost.
These addicted, damaged people have an incredibly hard time with Trump heroin surging through their brains from every direction. And the corporate media owned by the extreme wealthy feed it every day because it is to their benefit and profit to keep the levels of addiction high. Just like the Sackler family pushing opioids and becoming billionaires…boy does that sound familiar or what?

‘I was so deep in what I can only call a religious psychosis.’

But thanks , Ernie, for the poetry you produce about different subjects that shows your heart. I’m with the others that appreciate it.
