Is there a bottom to the ugliness and repulsiveness of Trump? Evidently not. Each week he surpasses his vile and despicable actions and words from the week before – and the GOP remains silent, like passive puppets and spineless sycophants. It is all truly appalling. Recently, real news broke about Trump’s atrocious comments about US troops who died in war, calling them “losers” and “suckers.” The article is HERE. The disgusting remarks called to mind Emmett Lee Dickinson’s short, enigmatic poem “Foul violation of Whom” (below on the left), written in 1853 (enigmatic for 1853, but particularly meaningful in 2020 where "Maggot" easily substitutes for "MAGAt"). Dickinson’s poem inspired third cousin Emily to pen her poem “Drab Habitation of Whom" (below on the right). |
By Emmett Lee Dickinson: Foul violation of Whom? Our Soldiers in the Tomb – By Worm of Man – By Clown of Fools – By some Swamp’s Maggot King! | By Emily Dickinson: Drab Habitation of Whom? Tabernacle or Tomb – Or Dome of Worm – Or Porch of Gnome – Or some Elf's Catacomb? |
