The Dead Zone Revisited

Did Stephen King predict this?
Did Stephen King see it coming?
Did Stephen King write of Donald Trump
The similarities are a little numbing

More than 40 years ago
Stephen King wrote his book
Titled it The Dead Zone
And the likeness it has to today
Cannot be mistook

A man named Greg Stillson
Was the main character
And so much like Donald Trump, he was
He was like his ghost, his spectre

Stillson was a businessman turned politician
Who had been in real estate
His eccentricity and past of being a nonpolitician
Built him a large following hard to duplicate

"Throw the bums out," Stillson said
"Drain the swamp," Trump echoed
The story of Donald Trump
Is but the story of Stillson recycled

Yes, it sounds like Donald Trump
It sure does to me
Whether you call it prophecy
It's quite a coincidence, don't you agree?
