I wrote the Trump poems in this book, much as do any of my work. My muse would absorb the events of my day and then force me to write what was most necessary to express. And while, Trump's narcissism caused him to be in our faces constantly, I could not always withstand the pain he was causing and sometimes hid away. Thankfully, I found other more important topics to write about during those moments.

Still, I had to write about his evil. And so you have this gathering of what I consider to be my Trump poems, which were originally scattered within three other books of my poetry.

To me, Trump is a man of glass, which so easily allows one to peer into the dark core of his heart. How clearly I could see that he did not care about anyone, but himself. His actions and words expressed so loudly that he was capable of any injury to others, as long as it made himself feel bigger.

How I wondered, that over these four years, so many were blind to the obvious dangers of this man. The answer is found in some type of malignant super charisma that Trump has.

Of course, Republicans were delighted to use him in their pursuit of riches, power and the control over women, the poor & non-white people. Supported by their political propaganda machine, Trump was able to fool most of the people too much of the time.

The poems in this book, were my cries in the wilderness from early 2017 up to the election of 2020. I offer them now as an indictment of Trump's character and as a warning that we must never allow such a person to ever again, be in reach of the levers of power.
