Beggarly Riches

“Trump’s Bible” is an Oxymoron

Their use in a good oxymoron
can give two words the power of ten
Is a “working vacation”
“genuine imitation”
or just an “irreverent amen”?

I’ve agonized over “TRUMP’S BIBLE”
and the term oxymoron applies
Oxymorons, it seems
are Herr Trump’s wettest dreams
as he rallies his goons to his lies

Oxymorons like “deceptively honest”
serve to darken Trump’s mobster milieu
Casting shade on Juan’s daughter
and then biding the slaughter
as democracy bids us adieu.
