A Dead Dead Rose (An Ode to Trump)

Author and journalist Will Black @WillBlackWriter started a hashtag that has been trending on Twitter called #WriteAPoemAboutTrump

So, I thought I would have a wee bash.

My favourite poem is Robert Burns' A Red, Red Rose

So, it seemed paradoxically appropriate to take this beautiful poem about Love and taint it with what I believe Donald Trump to be all about - Hatred.

My apologies to Scotland's national bard; a man who believed in egalitarianism unlike Trump.
