Zelenskyy's Visit to the King

Did you even say, "Thank you?"

We're all waiting for it,
yes, we are -

the appreciation, the bowing
of your head, the kissing

of The Royal Ass.

That Luke character from
the New Testament
knew a thing or two.

"For whoever exalts himself
will be humbled,
and he who humbles himself
will be exalted."

Look him up,
whydon'tcha?
14:11

It's right there in the bible, the one
beholding the U.S. Constitution
glorified in the
beautiful,
bootylicious,
gold-seductive Oval Office.

Yep, them's the rules:
Humble thyself.
Give thanks.
Wear a suit.

Just do it.

It's all gonna be great again.

My word!

From the description of your poem, I thought there were going to be some vulgar language, and some real shenanigans. My word! You have only expressed the feelings of the entire free world. I've said from the beginning that I thought he was set up and ambushed. You did fine, and we got your message very clearly, nice job, ~ Geez.

Hello, Geezer,

I can't seem to write anything that's not some political rant right now, and it all feels vulgar to me. So discouraging. Anyhoo, I always appreciate your wisdom and support!
Thank you!

Hi Lavender, I like the

Hi Lavender, I like the message in your poem, it shows the power, the performance and the grotesque display of false piety wrapped in patriotism and PR. Looking at it from here, I think Trump & Vance showed who they really are and as the world watched on, we couldn’t believe how stupid they were to show themselves to us. There’s comfort in that double edged sword. Ruby xx

Hello, Ruby,

Heartbreaking and disgusting, the lack of diplomacy and compassion.
Maybe soon I'll write something with more positive energy.
Thank you for reading and sharing your thoughts!
