Now, Donald Trump is a convicted, sentenced criminal.
Of course, he says he will appeal, attempting to annul
The jury’s “guilty” verdict in three dozen felonies. (1)
But now his rap sheet’s hanging like the Sword of Damocles. (2)

Returning to the “throne,” the Donald once again tastes power,
Although he must beware the fruits of power may turn sour.
Temptations for emoluments that Donald can’t resist
May lead to more impeachments Congress may add to his list.

Kakistocratic cabinets may generate ill will.
If only billionaires are served Trump’s base may get a chill.
A base that’s been neglected may dry up and blow away.
And, with a withered base, who knows the price that Trump may pay?

As “Donald, the Felonious” now enters his new reign,
The world is girding up its loins, anticipating pain.
For Trump has advertised his grudges and will act on them.
Both here at home and everywhere, Trump wants us fearing him.

Since Donald has named Kash Patel to run the FBI,
And persecute Trump’s “enemies,” (Kash is that kind of guy,)
He’ll weaponize “his DOJ,” with Pam Bondi on top,
As she screws Donald’s “enemies,” indictments will not stop. (3)

So, here comes Donald once again; we’ve seen this show before:
Mendacity and retribution and chaos galore.
A warning from Confucius on revenge that Donald craves:
“Before you leave on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.” (4)

(1) Trump was found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records by a Manhattan jury. He was covering up hush money payments made to Stormy Daniels to cover up their sexual encounter.
(2) Damocles was a courtier to king Dionysius I of Syracuse. He was allowed to sit on the throne for a day, but the king supposedly hung a sword over his head by a single horsehair to indicate how perilous the throne was.
(3) Feel free to look up any and all of Trump’s cabinet nominees. You will get the distinct feeling that his main criterion for their appointment was loyalty to him. Competence for the job to be done seems not to have been given much, if any weight.
(4) Another valuable thought from Confucius (~551-479 BCE): “Do not do unto others what you do not want done to yourself,” his version of what we call “The Golden Rule.”
