In the widening circles of Hell radiating through Syria,
Khan Sheikhoun
glows
with baleful fire.
But let us be grateful for the comfort
it brings in its wake,
as the vast, compassionate arms of Donald Trump
stretch
wide
over the world,
promising an end
to the brutality and suffering of humankind.
Let us stand united
against the cynicism that suggests
a failing president might
go to war
to save himself.
Who could believe
he would stride fearless
into the icy depths of the forest
to tomahawk the Great Bear
if he has been secretly rubbing him behind his ears all this time?
Look for the silver lining.
And God Bless America.
