i really don’t care do u

She is lost to her shopping
Rooms of shoes to be worn once or twice
Instantly bored of her sunglasses
She needs new bathrobes today.

The masses bleed for compassion,
Babies torn from a mother’s breast
Screaming in foreigners’ arms
O soft spoken beauty
This was your Evita moment
To spread your magic fashion smile.

If you could shed a tear
On your high Slavic cheeks
And wave your wand! All,
All will adore you!

She chooses a curious graffiti
To wear on her coat
To meet the children
Freed from their cages.
Her stance is quite clear;
But the last angel who said
“Well, let them eat cake!”
Lost her head...

Her 15 minutes are up-
The Third Estate brands her the Whore!
Just like all the arrogant queens
She now hides from the world
And surrounds herself with
The carnival filth
Who merry make
In the hunger games.

Last few words: 
Many of us starting to feel sorry for the ex soft porn star who captured the evil emperor's heart. But in unimaginable, unbelievable lack of tact and stupidity she brought this on herself. She is now held as complicit, and I wish her the worst. She has earned a place in the hall of fame of ugly souls. (I am aware there is no absolute proof that Antoinette ever said "let them eat cake" , but her naivete is well known.) The image of the dandies in the Hunger Game series have stuck with me, but you don't have to know the book/movies to appreciate the image of "hunger games"

You have really and nicely vented your sentiments about the incident which evoked a lot of criticism confusion by those words on the back of the jacket worn by FLOTUS...which were pretty unsympathetic and insensitive...

Are you Really so bitter about your candidate not winning that you now feel justified attacking the winner's family? You need to do some serious soul searching in my opinion

How can you criticize outrage when the First Lady of the United States wears a jacket with that message visiting people in such distress Have you no soul, sir? Or are you so inamoured with this president you have lost it?

Already explain the coat's message was aimed at reporters not immigrant. If it had been aimed at immigrants doesn't it make sense it would have been on front of coat where the immigrants could more easily see it. For that matter if she didn't care about the plight at the border why would she have even gone? You really should not use The View as your news source lol

I avoid news, especially concerning that so-called POTUS and his FLOTUS, did she actually wear the slogan 'let them eat cake'? or was it something similar.

If so this poem is fully justified, vitriol worthy of HST. And Stan, I bet $3.50 you wouldn't have defended Hillary so.

See above reply. The left is trying its best to become relevant again and they do anything they can to become so. But the poem Is well written.

you can google about it. With all the news of course you can't get involved with all the stuff going on in the USA. You probably heard of our boarder crises and how it evolved to our agents separating families at the detention centers, babies, toddlers and teens, right now about 20,000 in makeshift centers around the country. Our government will not allow in the press, but some pictures have gotten out showing kids in cages. It is a humanitarian crises unlike any we've had since WWII with the Japanese... There was immediate outrage, protests, marches etc., and finally it was learned the first lady, Melania, would fly to Texas to see first hand how the children were being kept. First ladies in the USA has recently played an important function as an ambassador. So she actually boarded the plane and returned home wearing a cheap outer jacket with those exact words screen printed boldly on the back, clear for all the cameras. (in lower case like the title) At first, nobody could believe it, it's like wearing an I'm with Stupid t shirt to a funeral. The visit to the facility was poorly handed, but the main message about the trip as just mind blowing. Her aids said, "it's only a jacket" and "it was a fashion statement" or tried to deflect it. So the poem is about how we wanted to think this woman had a real heart, and would add to the compassion and make action swifter. There is no forgiving this, she is now as beloved as Antoinette was in the French Revolution. She earned it herself.
You can see the problem we have in the US. One side, Mr Scribble, and the rest of Populesque Trumpius, can see no wrong doing by their fascist in chief, or his family who have a national presence, especially his wife. The other side continues to watch decency reach new lows everyday. I hope things are better down under. But from what i can see, man we all have problems
trying to find intelligent and compassionate governments.

The picture of kids in cages was taken while Obama was in office.You also overstate the number of separated kids by a factor of 10. Also a Lot of these kids were abandoned at the border by both parents and adults not related to them. Thus a lot of those who abandoned them are still in Mexico. Should we just push the kids back across the border and say good luck finding your parents. The democrats are using the immigrants as political chips trying to demonize a president who keeps on repeating he wants a humane comprehensive immigration bill but the congress just sits on its hands both dems and repubs.
BTW there are thousands of American families separated every day because a parent or parents committed a crime and was sent to jail. Why do you think these non citizens who are by definition criminals for coming here illegally deserve better treatment than our own people?
I respect Eumolpus as a poet but his politics are unsound.

but you don't have to be left-wing to regard him as Pennywise the psychopath. His nuclear antics with Kim Jong-un, the wall, Hispanic rapists. His cabinet appointments alone are a sour joke.

And that coat did bear that phrase and it would be outrageous for a FLOTUS to wear it anywhere, front or back but on a visit to the separated children?

Come on man, reality check. They're a couple of dangerous clowns. Trump's people-

I'm the first to admit that Trump is far from perfect but given the same choice we had I'd vote for him again. One of the main reasons I voted for him was not wanting Hillary appointing more activist judges.......stan

gay rights, add support nazi hate crime.

You fascist dick.

Trump won't make America great again, he will draw the whole word ltogether in the revulsion of the USA and probable lead to its demise.

no business legislating that according to the constitution legislative powers dwell in congress. So I'm a fascist dick? Just because we have political differences? Who sounds fascist now?

Not fascist.

Consider the true meaning of words like 'conservative' and 'liberal'.

The true agenda of conservatism as a political movement, though its attacks on trade unionism, so-called 'family values', politics based on religion, is a return to traditional values, like slavery.

Conservatives deserve far worse abuse than just being called a dick. They advocate the non-separation of church and state.

2,000 was the number the government is telling us, of which 1500 are most recent since the zero policy was put in. Nobody knows exactly how many were abandoned as you say, but the number is very small. People don't do that, except in situations of life and death. In the case of WWII we cannot forget 2000 Jewish children were turned back from Europe, basically due to Roosevelt's anit-semitism, and just about all of them died in the camps.
The pictures are now very much the present, the kids are basically imprisoned there. In a country that welcomes the immigrant, like my grandparents, i do not consider his immigration policy in any way shape or form humane. He wants to keep the filth out- i.e., anybody other than white Christian's with degrees from oxford. We need immigrant labor here for gods sake, not Phd's to take the better jobs away. The immigrants pick the cotton, clean the toilets. Their kids become lawyers and doctors.They do not take away jobs from us, until the robots can do it, who's going to watch mom who needs 24 hour help. Hilde from Denmark? our population can handle the small amount of immigrants from Salvador compared to the problem Europe has. And give up with the criminal bullshit, undocumented immigrants were responsible for less than 3% crime. Just like most terrorist acts are not by Muslims. Finally the comparing of family dysfunction and asylum seekers is not the same. That sounds like Hannity logic.
I'll stay in my bubble. If this guy can convince you it doesn't matter, lying is a fine, about just about everything starting from the first day with inauguration, over 2000 times, (but it's ok every body does it,) rabble rousing doesn't matter, using the office for personal gain like in a banana republic level doesn't bother you, let's just drop it.

to edit your above comment about it being 20,000 then lol. I agree we need immigrant but we need LEGAL immigrants not the ones whose first act in entering is breaking our laws. I hope you realize that the 3% you refer to would not have happened had these illegals been stopped at the borders."JUST" 3%....ask the victims if that is acceptable.
BTW before you start thinking otherwise I'm not a republican. I'm a registered independent and like you I was presented with 2 bad choices.......stan
