The Circus Comes to
Town
there is a suspicion
in the land the folks now in charge are evil liars
clowns at
best many are defiant/stand up as they have before
against what is
un-american against war against prejudice
resist the evil
circus protest the dark one's will they are brave/unafraid
knowing names will
be taken there could be arrests move on
there is a suspicion
in the land the folks now in charge are evil liars
the orange king
says i am only fulfilling my promises i told you who i was
it is
necessary to keep the homeland safe the crowds remember
the stories of their
grandmothers it has happened before there is nothing new here
police in riot
gear tell them to move on nothing to see here
how could it
happen and yet we were told it could happen here
perhaps time was
waiting to prove it could happen here slowly the world awakes
the people speak in
whispers plan resistance still doubt their eyes
protests and riots
on tv build a wall travel restrictions
cut help for the
poor the least among us move on/nothing to see here

It is true. He did tell and show us who he was. I never thought I would see this happening in North America. I am glad for those brave enough to speak out in protest.
Yes this is what he was voted to do... wonder how soon people realize what is happening. I had no right to vote, but I have my views.
It is most definitely a circus, with a clown leading it.
Wow Annell... you go lady! Yes, i watched the clown car in the parade make it all the way to ring master without a clue of what to do except to put the tent on fire. I think we are in a sad period and there seems nothing else to do but become the NEW tea party and resist.
What a tragic state of affairs. There is suspicion in the land indeed. Indeed the evil king is fulfilling his promises. Every day worse. Indeed - move on/nothing more to see here.....Canada beckons.
A circus, perhaps, but they have humour and entertainment and demonstrations of skill. What we have here is more of a farce by inept itinerant players.
The 'move on; nothing to see here' is telling.
Over the centuries great nations and empires have fallen for such foolishness and prejudice. The wheel of time keeps turning. Sadly big business is least able to manage a country's diverse interests and responsibilities for all its citizens.
I can't think of a world I'd rather live in than one with an orange king ... especially if he has cotton candy and dancing bears to share.
You have captured the fear many of us are feeling. I cling to my hope, but the words "history repeats itself" keep ringing in my ears.
I love the thought and energy you put into this piece. It rings with truth and a knowing reality. Yes, move on, but always resist when doing so,

I hope this circus passes through quickly.. though i suspect there will be much to witness in its wake
You have captured something probably everyone is feeling right now.. powerful write!
Nicely done,and as others have said, you're reflecting a common theme, I think, and doing it really well.

Well-drawn words present a picture that strikes fear in us all. Powerful words!
I love the format of your poem. History does repeat itself, but I pray it doesn't.
