I will
with every breath
let you down
understanding the right
interests first
impose our way
for everyone
old alliances
will eradicate the Earth
the bedrock of
our country,

The Bible tells us, "How good and pleasant it is when
America is totally unstoppable.”

salute the American
child
be ignored again
Thank you. God bless you. And God bless America.
Author’s note: Erasure poems preserve the order of words in the original text but delete many in order to create a new work, in this case a distillation of Trump’s inaugural address as it might have been heard by some.
