The New Reality

Quivering and quaking
in disbelief the
world staggers in the
new reality of a rank
world figure strutting
the global stage in
a gleeful portrayal of
unrestrained power
whose edicts impose
the impulse of an
egocentric idiocy
at large oblivious to
their effects as one
glorying in crude
ostentation has replaced
another whose impotence
to act reflected the
emperor whose
moral nudity left wide
a vacuum flooded
with the stark 
desolation of fear
and morbidity of moral
certainty rocks the
world so delicately out
of kilter, balancing from
bare utility to dysfunction.
