Elected Narcissist

Great myth created by Ovid
Describes handsome Narcissist
Cursed by the god for his self-love,
A tale that echoes from above.

Great myth created by Freud
Connected self-love to steroid.
Its energy came from libido,
Wearing a red cap and tuxedo.

In the mirror, he sees divine reflection,
A visage adored, beyond mortal affection.
Elected not by votes, but by his own gaze,
A prisoner of the crowd, lost in a daze.

Golden words and promises, glimmering bright,
Yet shadows of reality linger out of sight.
A throne built on illusions, in admirers’ eyes,
But in the heart of vanity, truth silently lies.

Elected Narcissist, once a legend of old,
Now a tale retold, in leaders so bold.
Beware the charm, the allure, the gleam,
For not all that glitters is the golden dream.

Our admiration feeds his narcissism,
Everything that comprises Trumpism.
May bring us more good than evil,
But no one can dodge the schism
Between his ideas and reason.
