The Principle of Peter or The Orange Man
In the East
The clouds are thick
Over the mountains
In the West the skies clear
A silvery blue
Lights the world
All is quiet
Most still curled in their beds
Each morning
The question appears
What will this day bring?
Our leader a buffoon
Will the truth be revealed?
Will the report be given?
He squirms like a worm
Trying to get back under his rock
His appearance is that of a little boy
Caught with his hand in the cookie jar
He doesn’t fool many
He performs in broad daylight
It is as if he doesn’t know
He is a perfect example of white privilege
Lacks understanding
Can we say?
“Father, forgive him, he knows not….”

Interesting last line and challenge of forgiveness.
I was mystified at first by the title, Annell, and then it clicked when I read the lines:
‘Our leader a buffoon’
and
‘His appearance is that of a little boy
Caught with his hand in the cookie jar’.
You’ve described him perfectly without mentioning his dreadful name!
thanks Frank for your response.
Kim, once you said you liked long titles, so when I go "long," I always think of you!! Thanks for your response. He hasn't looked well the last few days.....
Hmm. He happens to be White, in an orange sort of way, but he's not *typical* of any White tribe or class...I hope. Bashing the McCains on the jahrtzeit? That's not a White thing; that's a universal-selfish-jerk thing. I think he *wants* the lovely attention he provokes by behaving badly enough that people like us e-yell at him.
Hmmm...I'm reading a small book on forgiveness and that answers so many concerns. There is so much need in our world right now.
I think forgiveness is beyond me, I am too appalled. When will this travesty be over?
I think to forgive he has to ask for forgiveness... but that will never happen.
