Socialist Sonnet No. 220

Demagogue

 

It all sounds like hubris, vainglorious

Bluster, rantings of megalomania,

Domination via the media,

As if there is nothing left to discuss.

A tsunami of personality

Surging around the world, inundating

With a flood of words beyond debating,

Such is the depth of this banality.

Afraid of drowning, there are those who try

To swim against the tide, but distracted

By their efforts, they are misdirected

From all that is unobserved floating by.

Judgement saturated by anger and dread,

Becomes unaware of what’s not being said.

 

D. A.
