A Eulogy for the Trump Presidency.
Donney Rose | Jan 15 | 1 |
Here lies ( & lies & lies) the remains of a perverted empire. The carcass of a country’s leadership that cannot become a relic of a distressed history soon enough. It is survived by the same supremacy that birthed it. It leaves to mourn a legacy of arsonists who have set this democracy on fire for centuries. The family requests absolution of misconduct at this time. A little more than half a nation wishes the family's request and the family itself fades into the ether. Final arrangements prepared by a mob that was preparing for this service to be accompanied by a mass burial of public servants.
At this time we will hear remarks from every mouth muted by the deceased regime. This moment is reserved for the reclamation of your humanity. Please make sure you roar, loudly.
