Of a dumbo controlled by the hawks
He degraded instead of defending
And spoke with a mouth full of rocks

A primitive man was made to sing
From a hymn sheet full of hate
He’d rather play golf and improve his swing
His talents so third rate

He and his people spread their lies
Manipulating a peoples' grief
As the world looked on and did despise
This extremist and election thief

But his sorry ass is in retreat
As we see the consequence grave
Of neocon dreams in defeat
And he their perpetual slave

The people at home see through this man
At last! It’s taken so long...
He has done the harm that he can
They see at last he was wrong

The era of madness is ending
Finally winding down
A saner America averting
Looking like an evil clown

The truer America will now emerge
The tried and trusted sense
No more teetering on the verge
Of torture by way of defence

The bedrock of American beauty
The easy going charm
The strength of character and duty
Suffered no permanent harm

The era of madness is ending slow
It won’t happen overnight
All ugly influences will surely go
As America sees what’s right

She should not remain a pariah
She has so much more to give
By rejecting this false messiah
She will surely begin to live

We will look back in wonder
That such madness had support
Every Bush failure and blunder
That should have been hauled to court

We’ll breathe the deepest sigh of relief
As we start the process of mending
All the lies told that abused our grief

A poem well written but I do not think it is ending but only the beginning. Sad. Yet your poem leaves me with the memories of how it once was before all this madness. :)
