Comment from Ogden
Your poem, although not masterful, tells it like it is. Although I'm sure you didn't mean it as a compliment, "dysfunctional" is one of the mildest insults that can be ascribed to this president. A "leader" who, if not legally insane, and yet invariably makes wrongheaded decisions willy nilly, resulting in the loss of countless American lives, deserves a much more derisive defamation than "dysfunctional."
"Criminally insensitive" I think, still falls short. I'll bet you can come up with a few.

Hello Don, I thank you for your time and the insights; appreciate it very much.

Okay, first off, I am not judging you on your political stance. As a five-seven-five poem, you have one major problem. This is listed as satire fiction PROSE, not poetry. As such (despite what you call it) this not only doesn't qualify (in the poetry contest), it is completely unfair to the rest of the contest competitors whose work appears in the much larger and less rewarding poetry section. Their work will only reward 20 cents, while prose 52.
You can, if this was an accident, ask Tom (admin) to switch it for you, while you have time.

Hello friend, that was an inadvertant error on my part; I couldn't change it on my computer, so I posted that way; however, I was able to correct it now, but am still unable to centre the text; I am not that computer literate; I appreciate your time, thank you.
