"Trumpymandias"
I met a traveller from a modern land
Who said: "A vast near endless derriere
Squats in the city---near it, on concrete
Half gone, a shattered visage lies, whose smirk
And pouting lips, and sneer of arrogance
Tell that the sculptor well that contempt read
Which yet survives, stamped on what remains:
A reminder of apathy's cost.
And, writ in letters large and gilt:
"My name is Donaldus Trumpus, I know everything.
Look on my boastful claims, ye sheep, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the rot
Of this colossal fool,feckless and unashamed,
A nation desperately struggles to forget him.
