Helplessly Hoping

 “Helplessly hoping her harlequin hovers near

Awaiting a wordGasping at glimpses of gentle true spirit he runs

Wishing he could fly
Only to trip at the sound of goodbye”
 ("Helplessly Hoping" is a 1969 song by the American folk-rock group Crosby, Stills, and Nash, written purposefully in alliterative form by Stephen Stills.)

 

Perhaps, ONE arrogant, too many verses in what might be his final dirge (dirge is a somber song or lament expressing mourning or grief, such as would be appropriate for performance at a funeral); falling as freely as “Lock Her Up,” “Mail-In Fraud,” “Tired Joe.” “Good Nazi’s” “Law and Order,” and “Chinese Flu.” A rush of denials and walk backs by too many surrogates, suffocating on excuses, double talk so speedy that the 360-degree spin of Linda Blair’s neck in the ‘Exorcist’ seems tame, and typical defiance of sources anonymous, buy other sources as anonymous to placate any semblance of told truths!

 

Trump talks a talk written by Evangelical Christian Taliban, Domestic American 1% Donor Class Terrorist, Vladimir Putin, and the numbness and vacant minds of self-serving entertainers as Hannity, Graham, and the Foibles known as FOX and Friends. He also speaks as perhaps different personalities approach his vacant apartment called a brain, thinking there will never be a trap strong enough to grab his lies and show them to the world. Alliteration In literature, alliteration is the conspicuous repetition of identical initial consonant sounds in successive or closely associated syllables within a group of words, even those spelled differently. As a method of linking words for effect, alliteration is also called head rhyme or initial rhyme. Trump speaks in a method of alliteration, a purposeful method to say one thing over again, almost as if chanting a spell, so you listen as if it was a melodic chant. Maybe, Motherhood, Apple Pie, Baseball became obsolete in Trump /MAGA Land, but somehow disparaging our Military in a manner as blatant and precise as Trump had done and continues to believe, will be his final words!

 

“Wordlessly watching he waits by the window and wonders
At the empty place inside
Heartlessly helping himself to her bad dreams he worries
Did he hear a good-bye?
Or even hello?”
 ("Helplessly Hoping" is a 1969 song by the American folk-rock group Crosby, Stills, and Nash, written purposefully in alliterative form by Stephen Stills.)
