The Leader of The Free World.

Perpetual occupation. Thoughts o’Disgust.

 

A path into oblivion. Who can we trust?

 

5% of the world population.

 

20%, prison population.

 

More thoughts. More of disgust. Despair. Hope? Less.

 

And less! Each day I think I forget. Its there.

 

Orange TV show personality.

 

As the leader of the free world?! What kind

 

of world is that? What am I supposed t’think?

 

Oh right. Because he’s free to tweet trash, garbage,

 

putridness, calling everyone out other than himself,

 

calling people dogs? That’s freedom. No thank you.

 

In the meantime, go fix your ******* self!

 

Before you try to fix everyone else.
