**

Yet aiming to fly close to the benevolent, life-giving golden orb

A force all-powerful, all-just and all-humble; earth's resplendent sun

Its glorious rays, shining on all freely, faithfully and with prejudice to none

The Musk-kite is ripped to shreds as with a sharp dagger and merciless jackknife

In a fool's errand to reach the source and giver of all planetary life

Lacking self-awareness of his direct opposition, as he unfolds untold ruinous, stress and strife.

**

This Afrikaners' naked hubris and callous cruelty, too much for a kind, loving sun to bare

Aurora, issues a thundering, shattering 'thus far and no further' dare

To the richest man on earth, an icy put-down and belittling slap in the face

As SpaceX rocket ships blow up and turn to dust, yet another dose of apt disgrace

A stunning lack of charity and truth, on permanent full-display

Yet, his billionaire anti-human heart, shuts out the sun of righteousness and fails to see the light of day.

**

The brotherhood of Narcissus; a select club of deadly and dubious distinction, evincing diseased minds

Nice job Irene. Musk and Trump are two of a kind. Sad part is most people don't see it.

I guess people just see what they want to see. As a long time chainsaw user, I see a power tool that is the most efficient way to prune big limbs and rarely touches blood. I suspect that's Javier Milei's view too.

Thanks for dropping a comment. You know what they say - don't throw the baby out with the bath water. Or better still, who would want a surgeon to perform a procedure blind-folded.
