All Hail Saint Trump

Patron Saint of Situational Ethics

By Ruben WillisPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

Yes, let's rush to canonize Saint Donald Trump,

after all, he's smarter than Forrest Gump,

for shortsighted partisans he's willing to stump,

and his detractors he'll always lump

as enemies of conservative values, for they're in a slump,

abandoned by leaders whose ethics are a dump.

But that doesn't matter, for the Right

has remembered its holy might

upon those that freedom causes fright,

because freedom's non-conformity

leads to moral laxity

from Man's basest instincts of depravity

and we can't have that, can we?

For freedom from persecution

is something our patriots

never fought and died for.

They never gave their lives

to permit us to worship

as we choose,

be we Catholic or Protestant,

Witness, Bah'ai, or Mormon,

Muslims or Jews.

But let's anoint this lying statesman

with holy chrism, buffing his puerile virtue,

so he shines an example

of doing as he says,

not as he does,

though I thought we were done

with those shenanigans

half a generation ago...
