Trump. The second sonnet is a political parody of the myth of the Nymphs of the Rhine found in Richard Wagner\u2019s Ring Cycle of four operas written in 1857. The Nymphs suffered a \u201c flawed guardianship of the Rhine Gold and the condition (the renunciation of love) through which the gold could be stolen from them and then transformed into a means of power.\u201d G\u00f6tterd\u00e4merung means twilight of the gods in German. \u201cIt means the total, usually violent, collapse of a society, regime, institution, etc.\u201d The parallels and similarities between the myth and the lying Trump legacy and his malignant failed leadership are so ironic and rich I had to write at least one sonnet on it.<\/p>\n<p><h4>PO1135809: A Constipated Con<\/h4>\n<\/p>\n<p><em>(Jailhouse Jive For POTUS 45)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>08\/24\/23.
