When history considers the role of this President
in marshaling and inflaming the legions of Hate
With the false equivocations and outright blatant Racism
As we approach this critical Election
The intent is clear with each crazy stump Speech
Demonizing minorities, stoking needless fear of Immigration
Let me tell you what those like me Hate
Lying continuously to further the cause of Racism
Rabble rousing extremists before an Election
Baring to the world through heated, obtuse Speech
and inherently racist attacks on Immigration
An embarrassingly stupid and dishonest President
This has all been recorded so why deny the blatant Racism
Protesting that it is unfair to call you out before this Election
The proudest of bigots is encouraged by your Speech
Mirroring the wildest triple k nightmares about Immigration
Those are the people supporting you as the President
As you justify them saying both sides are guilty of Hate
This is not a protest over the outcome of the sixteen Election
Although we do recall the Mexicans are rapists Speech
Where would you or your wife be without Immigration
Maybe Scotland would have you as their President
An alternate history that I’ll wager, most Scots would Hate
Were Your mother deported or turned back due to bigotry and Racism
I am resolved to vote against your hate Speech
This is truly, a nation founded on Immigration
My vote is against the party that sustains this President
My vote is against the party that sustains this Hate
My vote is against the party that sustains this Racism
My vote has never meant more in a mid-term Election
The vast majority of voters would not be here but for Immigration
I desperately wish I could be proud of our President
It’s disheartening to watch him encourage the Hate
Oh, for that glorious day when we will defeat this Racism
The next battle in that goal is this coming Election
I am more motivated following each ranting discombobulated Speech
Obviously the forces of Hate are motivated by the presidents Speech
In the war against Racism I think this is nearly as important as the 1860 election
Supporting a rich history of Immigration let us defeat the defenders of this awful President

Let me wrap up with a bit of an explanation about why I did this. At work my unit was divided into teams for a presentation. I’ve always been poetic so we decided to format the presentation with a poem. I was searching about for a proper format and one of my coworkers suggested a sestina! I had never heard of it before, but once I studied it a bit I really appreciated it.
So the above effort is my 2nd attempt to construct a sestina… I must say I’m more impressed by the work effort… but I thought some folks here might enjoy this as well.
Finally, I don’t come to Kos that often anymore so I’m sorry for the uninteresting formatting of this diary. To be honest I’ll be surprised if I get any reaction to this… but oh well.
Thank you.
