The Legend of Trumpus

Is the legend of Trumpus true?  Could there be such a beast so vile, vulgar and evil?  It defies belief, no?

As I pondered those questions, I remembered Emmett Lee Dickinson's poem "When Villains are a Legend" in which the poet considered that same debate.  Could there be a horned, half-goat, half-demon creature from GOP folklore, whose sole mission is to destroy the US Constitution, dismantle our government, and establish a Christian-based Fascist regime that strips citizens of healthcare, food and programs of assistance, engages in human trafficking and protects known felons and pedophiles from incarceration?

It seems far-fetched -- but then....maybe not?

I've posted Dickinson's poem below on the left..  His poem inspired his third cousin Emily to pen her poem "When Diamonds are a Legend," below on the right.

By Emmett Lee Dickinson:

When Villains are a Legend
And Trumpus – a Tale –
I Broach the Version for Myself,
To see, how Real’s the scale –
 
And when the truth’s recounted,
And all the Facts are out – My Findings --
This – thinks he’s a King –
And this – a Vulgar beast –

By Emily Dickinson:

When Diamonds are a Legend,
And Diadems – a Tale –
I Brooch and Earrings for Myself,
Do sow, and Raise for sale –

And tho' I'm scarce accounted,
My Art, a Summer Day – had Patrons –
Once – it was a Queen –
And once – a Butterfly –
