The Peace Prize
It appears
he was never told, "No,"
and now
the monster-man
tries to take what he wants.
What a nasty, vile
frame-of-mind
eats at him beneath
that coiffured head,
that orange face
that never salutes the sun.
His footprints
are careless, clumsy,
heavy.
But the Universe heals all.
Like the rest of us,
he will eventually be told, "No."
Unlike most of us,
he shall never know peace.
The Greatest Prize.

Very True Lavender
The worthy winner of the prize is a woman who risked her life for democracy, in the face of an authoritarian. The Nobel committee made the right choice.
Now I wish this ghastly man child, would just shut it.

Hello, Sen,
The level of absurdity continues to mount. It's all bizarre.
Thank you for reading!

Hello, Ruby,
I doubt this man will ever know inner peace, which is the greatest prize.
Thank you!
