Poem 238: Just A Theory

I listen to podcasts as I meander along my way

I go through quite a variety each and every day

This morning’s topic was about the history of the film hero being cast

How since the advent of “The Soparanos” they are now a thing of the past

Sure you have your “Marvel” and “DC Comics” franchises raking in the dough

Since the emergence of “Tony Soparano” the “Anti-Hero” now steals the show

“Dexter”, “Walter White”, “Don Draper” and “John Dutton” all have special skills

These certainly couldn’t be considered “Role Models” who used to fit the bill

“The Sopranos” premiered in 1999 and became a great success

Just go out and watch the reruns and it will continue to impress

Twenty five years ago and this series hasn’t lost any appeal

“Tony” had a lot of issues that he tried to conceal

That goes for all the rest of the characters that this genre has produced

Based on all this information, here’s a theory I wish to introduce

All these kids have grown up watching these “Role Models” on their TV screen

Think of the amount of villains that they have probably seen

These were the shows they viewed each and every day?

Do you think this would have affected them in any way?

These kids are now voting age and the future is in their hands

There is something happening in the “States” that I can’t fully understand

“Trump” is cutting into “Biden’s” youth voters and gaining some ground

“Donald” is the closest thing to a “Mob Boss” that ever could be found

Maybe they look up to him and don’t consider him “suspect”?

Perhaps these years of “series binging” is having an effect?

“Trump” being in court may not be bothering them in the least

Maybe this is the very reason that his popularity has increased!

This is just another episode of the something they’ve seen before?

Not believing it’s reality and just choosing to ignore?

This is not just the youth, so many seem unaware

Some know him for being a fraud and refuse to care

I am going to close with a hypothesis or maybe it’s just a hunch

“Trump” and his “MAGA” followers are all “Out To Lunch”
