Mythical Me

Article link: Elizabeth Warren’s claim to be “part Indian” is correct in mythical terms

I’m mythically handsome.

I’m mythically thin.

By myth and by legend

I normally win.

*

I’m mythically brilliant.

I’m mythically smart.

I have the awareness

Of Mr. Descartes.

*

By day I’m a teacher,

But in my belief,

I morph in the evenings

To Indian Chief.

 *

With deep meditation

And tricks of the mind,

My heritage changes

When I am inclined.

*

And when I’m applying

At Harvard or Yale,

I’m no longer freckled

And no longer pale.

*

For if there’s a preference

I’m certain to be,

Exactly as ordered

As mythical me.

My goal is to produce poetical cartoons. I try to use metaphors and caricatures (or a politician’s own words) to address complex political and social situations. In this way, I sum up current events in humorous verse.
