Ode To A Little Girl


                Ode To
        A Little Girl
              Who
        Got Stunted
       In Her Growth
     At an Early Age
And Has Been Trying
                To 
       Compensate
              For It
         Ever Since

What I see
In Hillary
Is not just
A serial
Criminal
And compulsive,
                 even 
Pathological
        liar
Who jeopardized the 
        national
        security
     and did other
 disgusting things
for all of which she 
       should go
         to prison -
   as The Donald
       has said - 
                     but
A hurting little girl,
       who wants, not
To be abused, 
                         but
To be loved;
          who was 
        deprived of
A decent childhood
And has been trying
To gat her power
As a human being
                     back
    ever since

   who compensates
By seeing money
As a substitute
For her innate sense
Of self-worth
That she was robbed
        of;
             lost
In her childhood.

‘You too, little girl,
        can grow up
                   to be
       president
                  of the 
     United States
Someday.
       You just need to 
        be able to
Lie, and cheat, and steal
     and even kill
       if need be
       your way
           into
The Oval Office
        like into
      an orifice.
Grow up, little girl,
   and regain
  your power
    that way.’

               What
    a message
    that is
    to send
    to others…

          but not
    to judge.
    Leave that 
    to her.

And when Hillary
                 finally
Breaks down
And cries, 
           plaintively,
     “I feel…
          so…
     ashamed,”
Go over to her,
      Donald
(metaphorically
    speaking,
    of course)
      and give her
Your handkerchief
       and call Bill
Up on stage
To take her away
For consolation;
        and get on
With the main business
      at hand: that
   of making America
            great
            again
         because
             She 
               is 
            good.
