irredeemable monster



No heartless scarecrow features in the book,
nor movie in which Judy Garland starred.
Ann Coulter had to pioneer the look;
for someone with a soul, it would come hard.
Gus Walz gave voice to healthy pride and joy,
to see his father recognized on stage.
What kind of monster'd lay into the boy
for feeling sentiments beyond blind rage?
The motley company that Donald keeps
on yachts, and in his tickytack hotel,
the Russian oligarchs, and Epstein creeps
announce this anti-hero's bound for Hell.
Real men may weep, when heroes' work gets done.
But only cowards ridicule for fun.



The ersatz wizardry of L. Frank Baum/
