It has been stated that the triumphal arch
Is one of the greatest propaganda tools in history
To celebrate emperors, their wars, and might
Used in Trump’s arch clouding history of the Maga blight
Remember Napoleon and his triumphant wars
And the Arc de Triomphe carved with bloody events
From Austerlitz to Jena ringing down through history
With the Grande Armée marching through it, celebrating victory
There is a couple of things about that famous Arc
Hitler’s army marched through it like a walk in the park
And absent is the Russian Campaign and the Battle of Waterloo
When Napoleon was conquered by the British who slew
The Roman arches sang of victories of war in the ancient world
Copied by newer emperors for fleeting glory
But like Ozymandias, King of Kings (1)
They crumble in sand, buried, lost in antiquity
Triumphant arches are fleeting as history unfolds
Nothing is for sure as time marches through
The greatest victories of the world were fought by us all
As nations marched in harmony to defeat war’s global maul
One wonders what will be inscribed on the Trumpian Arch
Undoubtedly great American events will be there inscribed
But Trump has done nothing for any in the world he has decried
As events show his arch is propaganda devised
