The New Imperialism

The New Imperialism

Our noble Real Estate King
in his glorious continuous quest
to acquire only the bestĀ 
high end properties
has tagged the Martian landscapeĀ 
as a HUGE
investment opportunity
for his personal financial
windfall profits

Rest assured
his five star hotels
are gonna be luxurious
and decadently opulent
in keeping with
the Master Builder's golden brand

Attracting only the best guests
of the highest quality
with his out of this world prices
to keep away peasant riff raff
from smudging the marble floors
with their commoner's presence

Clearing the land and pesky native aliens
is gonna be a costly endeavor
but we manipulated taxpayers
for the cause of greed patriotism
will foot the bill gladly
under the glorious banner
of national venture capitalism

Hello Steve...

TDS?

I hope you don't have that disease...

It's highly contagious...

Have you seen those people...

All their faces are all distorted...

Old looking before their time...

😔

I'm sure other Presidents who have Renovated the People's House would appreciate acknowledgement as well...

It started a lot smaller...

Great write!

Thank you for sharing...

I definitely have Trump Derangement System and yes I hope it is contagious and spreads because anyone who loves America has to be concerned that this dementia ridden grifter is driving us off a cliff

My poem was meant to be a spoof on the Great Builder's dreaming of building high end luxury beachfront hotels in Gaza after "resettling" all the natives who live there.. I realize that many presidents have renovated the White House in the past.. Heck, the building is over 200 years old and requires a great deal of maintaining to keep it habitable..In the past Presidents went through a review and approval process before altering the building which belongs to the American people.. Of course since rules and the law for that matter do not apply to this president who is gutting a section to put up a ballroom to entertain his wealthy oligarch buddies.. Not the right way to do things

I am always concerned when private citizens "donate" large sums of money for public projects.. Cynical me is always looking for quid pro quo strings attached to these contributions
