The Angry Man

24/11/2020 – Poem a Day Compilation



There’s an angry, angry man

Sitting in a house

He doesn’t even own

And definitely doesn’t deserve



He’s a man who cannot tell

The truth from a bald-faced lie

And will not be corrected

When he undoubtedly gets it wrong



He’s angry at his colleagues

Who play by the rules

Thinking they should have his back

No matter what the cost



He’s angry at his rivals

For their very existence

And what he sees as

Favourable treatment



He’s angry at his predecessor

For getting so much done

Despite the road blocks put in front of him

And the rising racism he faced



He’s angry at those subservient

When they will not tow the line

Making outlandish, spiteful claims

About their ability and integrity



He’s angry at the media

For uncovering the deeds

He’d rather have kept hidden

From the public's prying eyes



He’s angry at other leaders

Who ask him to uphold deals

That go against his bigoted ideals

So he hangs up on them instead



He’s angry at the intelligence agencies

For bringing intelligence to light

Because it reflects poorly on his image

As a man in complete control



He’s angry at comedians

Who so often take the piss

Creating skits of his administration

That are far too close for comfort



He’s angry at the citizens

Who demand he do his job

Because they ask more than he can give

And he hates to be seen as weak



He’s angry at the courts

Who throw out his frivolous suits

Because he has no actual evidence

And even his lawyers know that



He’s angry at democracy

For standing in his way

And not letting him be the supreme leader

That he thinks he deserves to be



But after four long years of anger

His reign of terror is nearly done

Though he’ll fight it every step of the way

Like a toddler throwing a tantrum



And when’s finally evicted

From the house upon the hill

He’ll turn his anger to fear

When he realises he’s on his own
