Human Touch

Topical poem time and today I read that Bruce Springsteen thinks Donald Trump is a moron. Here is my poem. How many Springsteen songs can you spot?

Human Touch from The Topical Poet on Vimeo.


Human Touch
From the streets of Philadelphia, to the backstreets of my hometown,
there’s joker promising glory days, and he’s getting Springsteen down.
he thinks he’s tougher than the rest, talks of a land of hopes and dreams,
and Americans being Americans follow him in their reams.
He thinks that he was born to run, to be the man at the top.
But for those born in the USA, this man you have to stop.
So don’t go dancing in the dark, and on Election day,
see through the brilliant disguise, make Donald fade away.

streets of Philadelphia
backstreets
my hometown
glory days
tougher than the rest,
a land of hopes and dreams
born to run
the man at the top
born in the USA
dancing in the dark
brilliant disguise

fade away
