Some urge Amendment 25
that grows more needed, day by day,.
We watch his polling take a dive.
He altered course from a backlash.
His cult found posts in horrid taste.
This grifter feared a drop in cash.
Then Trump reviled the Catholic Pope,
who asked: "Would Jesus bomb and kill?"
and begged for peace, while seeking hope.
But Trump in jest—was it a joke?—
claimed Leo never would be Pope,
'til Trump blew up some Holy Smoke.
Like Stalin (in an iffy tale)
asked if Rome had armed Divisions,
in fear morality prevail.
And Trump, the MAGA's New Messiah,
depicts himself as Jesus' twin,
and casts peace-makers as pariahs.
It's on Truth Social (what a gaffe):
Trump's divine for Right-Wing Christians,
whose beef comes from a Golden Calf.
Royal Rhodes is a poet whose poems have appeared in numerous literary journals, including several times in The New Verse News.
