Revised Poem: THE COVINGTON BOY AND HIS AFTERMATH

supposed good boy
from good family
visiting nation's capital
wears his big red
I'm-with-stupid-leader cap
stands toe to toe
with man of different race/religion
boy's face wears superiority smirk
as his stature rapidly shrinks
while the man staying true
to his spirituality
is the real Great American
>
but the story does not end there
zealous conservative adults use bad boy
as symbolic nuclear weapon
aimed at The Washington Post and CNN
to cease those discouraging facts about
the leader who shouldn't be leading
and who, in a more courageous world,
ought to be playing golf for years
in a country-club prison
far from non-security cameras
restrained from orchestrating perpetual hate
in generations old and young
