Poetry: NO MAN BUT A WHITE MAN


even if
Lies
cloud his mouth like
foam; even if a rabid dog is a more
welcoming
less threatening
        sight; even if
no mark
is too
         low
for him to
miss;
no slur
is too slimy
no insult too
vicious
no attack too
craven;
even if a hyena would
benefit
from the comparison
his ruthless pursuit of
power and
grift
is matched only
by their
spineless dereliction
of duty; even if
he is a global
laughingstock and
lightning rod
delineating
the death of
democracy;
greeted with ridicule
gleefully
upending rules whilst
ignorant of their
purpose; even if he
has turned a high office –
imperfect yet hitherto still respected –
into a circus
and a shit-show at that
They will fight and
stoop and connive to
keep him
there
Their Great White Dope to
counter
the abiding fear
Caucasian persuasion to stem the
Negroid contagion; even if he’s a
Lying, treacherous, cowardly, ignorant,
Shameless, pussy-grabbing, hamberder-scarfing
egomaniac
he’ll just
have to do
for now
