Michelle Smith

He's Not My President


God help America

for it will become hell in a handbasket

under the United States of Amerikka.

under his felonious and fascist leadership.


Troubled, Tyrannical

Racist, Repugnant

Unintelligible

Misogynist

Pig


He is a buffoon.

In a navy blue size too small suit

rotund white shirt belly

and MAGA red necktie

dressed up for that

McDonald's Big Mac meal

don't forget that blond haystack

toupee hairdo.

It seems to be pasted on.

What a Looney tune!

The Commander- in -Thief

pontificates conversation

with that Big Apple accent

that one day I will again visit

all five Burroughs and take a bite.

Does he even know the three branches

of the government?

Can he even pass a U.S.

citizenship civics test?

With his narcissistic ways

to circumvent the

patriotic red, white, and blue

His winning is Trump's hangover

Amerikka under his leadership

will need more than a four leaf clover.

President 45-47 and MAGA part 2

Supporters are the sheep

and voted in

the worst Gemini on the planet.

Sheep don't complain when Trump

pens into law

a life

comfort

cause

change

you had and

"is now slaughtered,

especially the voting apathetic

that chose not to bother.


" Oh what a mighty web we weave in order to deceive."


Time and Trump will tell and

the USA shall see

the dystonian nations flag waving.

Red won the battle.

Blue will win the war.

Democrats are the donkey,

Republicans are the elephants,

but Trump is the true jackass!

For he is Not My President

and is a

Troubled, Tyrannical

Racist, Repugnant

Unintelligible

Misogynistic

Pig

Art makes the world go round, 

At his ECF artecf.org, there's

a kaleidoscope of materials

Chris enjoys to crochet 

and paint. He too is a ceramist

freely his creations take shape. 

Food, flowers, and folks. 

Art is essential and 

is home sweet home. 

Poetry and prose writer is me.

Seasons, seashells, life experience 

takes me. With a stroke of a pen,

I am free.

Fueled by our imagination, 

neighborhood and travel ahead 

of him and me. Connections to others that 

we have never met our works at least 

have encouraged hope. 

To see our works and words is heartfelt 

and forever for the world to see. The government is responsible

 for the health of the NEA. 

Did you know the  organization 

and labor union of Washington D. C.

is 167 years old and it's dismantling 

under Trump will financially be bleeding dry?

Their funds and grants keep creation alive.

For he and Musk have turned 

a blind eye. He'll mow and destroy where 

the grass is greener on the other side.




Time Magazine on 4.30.25


Google posted that

Hispanics helped Trump

take back the White House 

and now their support is waning.

Instead of golden sun rays,

Will this mean in your life 

there will rainy? Oh what a

 mighty web we weave in

order to deceive. MAGA, in

Espanol means magical or

large not Make America 

Great Again. Was that not 

a prelude at the term of

#45? Trump fooled voters,

after all, he is a crafty felon.

He can make believe that 

 the sun will turn into a snow

blizzard. Instead of cheers

there are jeers. Oil snakeskin

salesman no doubt praying

to God that Medi-Caid, Medi-Cal,

and SNAP EBT will not be voted

out. Millions depend on the 

government assistance, legal

or undocumented and not a

handout.


Low income and below 

the poverty line exist.

exist. I've seen and DEI on

 Wilshire & Vermont

 a k a Koreatown

Selling their wares and 

 free grocery giveaways.

The elderly gray haired Asian

woman with tiredness in her

defined line face hawking 

dry beans and a no name of

California green bean can.

A Latina mother with two kids

with dry corn flakes, apples, 

and oranges. Are they fresh, 

rotten, or aged?

There's one on every corner.

One stop shopping near 

Chipotle and the Purple Line.

Varieties of bus pass holders,

lanyards, a Dodgers cap, and

Eucerin skin cream for $8.00

cheaper than CVS in 90019.


At Wells Fargo, cardboard boxes

shows the Chiquita blue writing 

banana box, aguacates, and fresa

more often than not. The hint of a

radio station en Espanol and the

 sun baking down on the sidewalk. 

The stench of a blond hair matted

hair man lying in wait. Will he hop 

on the #720 or #20 to downtown 

or Santa Monica Beach? Muttering 

to himself as he walks catti corner

southbound near Wild Wings Buffalo 

to take a leek, his bearded compadre 

in a pink hoodie is transgender, wearing 

a brunette wig, I thought I overheard,

"Let me take a peek."
