Loathsome Dud - by Hubert Wilson, ILOVEPOETRY.COM

OUT OF THE WEST WITH HIS CORPORATE MISSION,
CAME THIS EVIL APPARITION!
SON OF A PATRICIAN.
NOT ASKING ANYONE'S PERMISSION.
ROB FROM THE POOR WAS HIS TRADITION,
AND GIVE TO THE RICH WAS HIS POSITION.
LOGIC WAS A PROHIBITION.
ANY QUESTIONING OPPOSITION
CAME UNDER SUSPICION.
ACCUSSED OF SEDITION!
CLAIMING TO BE GOD'S TACTICIAN,
BUT MORE LIKE SATAN'S PEDIATRICIAN!
WAR ONLY ADDED TO HIS AMBITION,
AS MANY DIED BY ATTRITION!
SOLDIERS DID NOT EVEN HAVE ENOUGH AMMUNITION!
THOSE ASKING FOR ARMOR RECEIVED ONLY A TERSE ADMONITION!
IT WAS A GREAT TIME TO BE A MORTICIAN!
SOCIETY ENDURED SLOW DEMOLITION!
PEOPLE SO SUFFERED FROM THIS VERBAL FECAL MAGICIAN!
THEN ONE DAY, SHOWING NO CONTRITION,
TO HIS RANCH HE MADE TRANSITION
BUT, ONLY AFTER DISASTER FROM THIS TEXAS POLITICIAN!
