Is he a friend or foe, or doing something wrong that is allowed today? The drawing depicts a callous individual I admire this style because it makes the reader think.

Don’t read too much into the drawing, Claire. Most of them seem to come out looking like a different person.
I’ll post some info re this one in a sec.

This certainly says a lot about the unknown man — I agree that it makes the reader think, and the thoughts are rather obvious here on the heels of the Midterm elections. One newspaper’s front page announced that Humpty Trumpty had a great fall!!

I read an article that referenced that headline, Janet. Seems the Murdochs might have moved on from Mr Trump.
I’ll post an explanatory about the poem and what I know in a moment. Plenty of questions being asked.

Hi Frank, is this poem politically motivated? Why does Blanky Blank deserve to die?

I’ll do a post to tell what I know, Robbie. Seems to me there migt be 3 different possibilities. Certainly there is an interesting picture of the 1920s opening up for me with these pics.

I wasn’t expecting that final stanza. My sense was that the reviled man was a member of a race or ethnicity other than the speaker’s own.

I might do a little explanatry post, as there has been a couple of questions raised about this. Not entirely sure I have answers.
