My ears are so used to hearing unbelievable permutations of truth, mind altering rhetoric, misconstrued missives, false flags and fake narratives, egregious, fallacy driven reversals of policy, that I was blown away recently when something hurtled through to my inner ear and made me shudder with delight, (for once; no fear) This thing that pierced through the disheartening din made me momentarily forget all the ways that Trump has sinned
and all the things he gets all wrong… I forgot how:
Trump was Wrong
when he called the press the enemy of the people.
Wrong when he styled particular sovereign lands as butthole abodes
Wrong when he accused Haitians of treating pets as food
Wrong when he took out an ad condemning the Central Park five
Wrong for downplaying a pandemic that cost over a million lives
Wrong when he pardoned people who stormed the capital in the name of democracy
Wrong for playing dumb and remaining mum about the Epstein conspiracy
Wrong for his wanton abandon of respect for women
His own female relatives, not excluded
Wrong for his blind eye to Kashoggi’s assassination
Wrong when he separated migrants from their young ones
Wrong for the disparate treatment of Afghans, Mexicans and certain South Africans
Wrong for ignoring Ukraine and Sudan
Wrong for Backing Brazen gerrymandering
Wrong for the individual and mass firings
Wrong for duping the Democratic Republic of Congo,
Wrong about the intentions of Rwanda and Lesotho
Wrong….
Ok! “That’s ENOUGH, this list is a distraction, besides it’s way too long.”
What if we’ve been wrong all wrong
What if at the heart of this ordeal,
is a sensitive sentient being cloaked in white lies
with innate goodness, but steeped in guile.
A heart of gold that’s invisible to the naked eye…
What if the essence of the man is just an enigma wrapped in a mysterious disguise…..
making the endles lies in all actuality, all lies…
Can’t say for sure, but of this one thing I can say with certainty;
whether by divine design, human instinct or sheer serendipity,
Trump spoke with conviction and uncharacteristic clarity……when he declared,
“Some of those kids are – that’s real starvation stuff, I see it and you can’t fake that…the children look very hungry.”
My ear quivered with hope, my heart opened wide.
Jabs, Fun Puns, Seething Anger aside
Trump did not fib, nor did he flounder in this particular narrative.
He spoke TRUTH – A crystal clear missive
Trump’s Truth in this moment has far reaching social, political and moral implications and it
stands in stark contrast to Netenyahu’s heinous fabrication,
“There is no starvation in Gaza“
We have heard Trump insinuate that he’s God’s appointee to this seat of power.
He’s firm in his conviction that he’s positioned for this particular golden hour,
The idea sends us retching and reeling, disbelieving. Entirely Insane!
But the nagging, niggling wondering doubts remain…
Could it be TRUE that TRUMP is RIGHT…
Could it be that God in His infinite wisdom and might,
has harnessed this moment of uncommon incredulity,
and is using it for HIS purpose in a brilliant feat of irony
Errr…maybe Father Trump….this is your opportunity
to be a David against the Goliath of Gaza’s Palestinians
as YOU, God’s chosen and all creation bear witness to this holocaust of STARVATION!
Father Trump, Stop and Think…
in another time, another place, another era,
Tala Abu Ajwa could be your Msichana Ivanka,
Young Bwana Barron could be your own Young Yazan.
Is it not inscribed in the version of the Bible you own…
“What man is there of you, whom his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?”
Children’s voices arise from vineyard and vine. From Palestine. and from gold mines of Sudan (not Dubai) Crying piteous seeds of sorrow to the Divine
Their eyes are watching God,
But their souls gaze at YOU, earthly father.
And in the midst of their slow torturous surrender of the ghost in their beloved land,
they declare,
“God asked me to ask YOU to be His ears and His hands.”
YOU in this instant of TRUTH can lead from within
Kick the Camel in the room in the Shins!
Execute an Order
To Cut the reins that fuels unbridled Power
To those who refuse to acknowledge their Sins.
I believe that YOU, Mr. Trump are RIGHT when you say, “I see it and you can’t fake it.”
