Two Faces

                 

TWO FACES

Which one will be our leader? 

DonaldReel whose caustic videos 

We watched each night on the

Endless evening news?

Or DonTheActor, 

Presidential at the White House

Or while accepting his win with

Some grace. But truth?

Will we come to see the Actor

Without the shadow of the Reel?

How often will the original emerge

To bully the defenseless?

Can the trumper change his spots?

Or are they tattooed forever on his being.

Can bullying, bigotry and abuse be

Hidden with an actor’s mask?

All Presidents take office with

Hidden handicaps.

This person’s sores are not so hidden

And I fear will soon erupt as to infect us all.
