MEGALOMANIAC

Please take MEGALOMANIAC, a poem I wrote, and have a friend record on a cell phone as you and your friends sing it at karaoke to the song Maniac by Michael Sembello. Post it on youtube and Facebook with the title "Megalomaniac" and describe it as a protest song against Donald Trump. Please state in your posting that Megalomaniac was written by Diane Kaufman, MD. Please tag me to your post. If enough people do this, the poem's message will gain national attention in the media and could influence how people vote. Here's the poem/song lyric:

MEGALOMANIAC

Just a pompous blowhard looking to be the President
This is so totally crazy, better wake up to reality USA 


Spouting hate as if it were love notes, turning compassion into ridicule 
Corrupting greatness into exclusion and domination, he's so insecure 


Denying mockery, deception and lies, he's masquerading as God’s truth          
While we're on the precipice between integrity and living his nightmare


He’s a megalomaniac presidential candidate, venting fear, anger and diatribe
And he’s lighting a match to our country, saying we have no choice, why should he care


There’s a moment in time when you must rise up and stand tall 
Can’t remain ignorant, hopeless, and blind against raging tides of arrogance


You may have lived your life small, but now you must live strong 
Or this opportunity to save our future will pass you by


He’ll promise you the moon and the stars, the heavens, too
Don’t be fooled and bedazzled by his hyperbolic hypocrisy


He’s a megalomaniac, a maniac buying up real estate, to build another tower
How can we elect a President who has no shame and wears no clothes


He’s a ticking time bomb ready to explode 
He’s a maniac, an ego maniac who wants to steal your vote


A maniac, a megalomaniac whose desire is to be President
From his penthouse view he’ll be safe, while America’s spirit implodes


He’s a maniac, a megalomaniac lusting at the presidential polls 
America, if you want to survive, you better open your eyes 


Don’t let apathy stop you from seeing what you know to be true
He’s a maniac, a megalomaniac, whose narcissism makes him unfit
To uphold truth from lies, he’s a danger to our country and the world


He’s a maniac, an ego maniac, a megalomaniac
America remember who you are and all you can be
Cast your vote for sanity and our country

See the megalomaniac for what he truly is 

Just a pompous blowhard looking to be the President
He’s a maniac, an ego maniac, a megalomaniac...

    As a child, Diane Kaufman wrote in her grade school composition that when she grew up she wanted to be a "medical doctor or a medical drawer." Her passion as expressed in poetry, story, and art seeks to inspire positive transformation, to help "humanize" our life experiences, to increase our connection with each other, and bring awareness of Arts Medicine as valuable in promoting and nurturing health, healing and well being. 

    Dedication:
    ​I write this blog to express and release my thoughts and feelings, to heal myself and others. The world is full of suffering. I want to do my part to heal the despairing wound. I want to do my part to comfort the crying baby, the lost child, and the all too often hurt and hurting adult. I have named my Arts Medicine for Health & Healing blog, Poetry Baby, and she calls upon me to give voice and share her spirit: to write, create, be courageous, and most importantly, to have abiding faith in the Almighty Mystery and Power of the Universe to spin the world into loving care and compassion. Our hearts and hands can make this be so.
