Whom do I mean?
I think he’s obscene
From his tip to his toe
To his bright orange glow.
Braggadocious from birth
Are there worse men on earth?
A felon, a ponce
He’s lied more than once.
Relentlessly bad
I think we’ve all had
Enough of this man
And his bright copper tan.
The work it will take
To correct this mistake
Will last many years
Will cause many tears.
I wish he would go
With his whole loathsome show
The world cannot take
Any more of this fake.

Love Letters Through Time
Context: Grace (Gráinne) Gifford, was a participant in the Irish nationalist struggle against British rule, which led to ‘The Easter Rising’, Easter Monday, 1916 in Dublin, Ireland. She was betrothed to one of the leaders, who were due to be executed the morning after being taken prisoner. Joseph and Grace were married the night before in his prison cell. Joseph (Seosamh Pluinceid)) was one of the leaders of The Rising, a signatory of the Irish Proclamation and, in death, a revered Irish hero. These are my imaginings of ‘her’ final words to him. I include a few words in Irish Gaelic as the movement that led to the rebellion favored speaking Irish, instead of English. I would wager a guess, as they were both poets and writers in the Irish republican movement that she would have chosen to marry her love of country with her love of him in expressing her devotion.

Thank you for sharing your thought-provoking piece.
You eloquently wrote about what is on many people's mind - that goes counter sensibilities of faith in truth and humility. Indeed, it will be hard to regain confidence in what was. What will be will remain shadowed by what is happening now. The orange tint might be a result of pancreatic condition-- due to excess bile from the disintegration of functional red blooded cells that are needed for humanity to survive.
I was wonder... 🤔 who could possibly be that orange and evil? 🤷 This was brilliant. I love it! I agree with Alec. Hey, Vocal!! You listening? TOP STORY HERE! ⚡💙⚡
I totally agree! He’s the scum of the earth and should be flushed down the toilet! This should be top story and get a $1000 prize!
