Trump's Tran War
There must be more love and acceptance
Ruthless hate and misunderstanding overruled
United behind every American he should be regardless of lifestyle choice
Man must come to fully embrace his fellow man
Poison thinking
Suffer no longer
This is the only way he can truly show himself to be a leader
Reach out to one and to all
Admit when and where he is wrong
Never again judging so harsh what he can never fully understand
Why not love over fear and hate?
A so much better man he could learn to be
No doubt about it
If only....

A Poem Built in Two Directions
Again one of the most striking features of this piece is its vertical message.
Reading the first letters of each line in this time the first two stanzas spells:
T R U M P S
T R A N W A R
This creates another one of double-layered pieces:
• The horizontal lines express a desire for empathy, understanding, and growth.
• The vertical spine quietly names the subject and the conflict.
This contrast between what is said and what is spelled is intentional and gives the piece its tension.
