it takes the murder of a ten year old

by long-term neglect and parental abuse

to knock Donald Trump off the internet pages,

it seems that society's obtuse

to a world full of horrors that batter us daily

from transgender denial to slave-driven labour

America's fuelled by the hate-driven fascists

as cover for greed and underhand favour

where those over sixty are denial basic living

unless they are politicians with mental decline

who cling onto power with such empty promise

to care for the workers who hold them divine.

But Sara Sharif will be forgotten tomorrow

while fascism makes a more permanent sorrow.
