Poem
THE FALL OF THE WHITE ELEPHANT’S CAN’T FAIL IDEA No self-respecting politician wanted to drink from that well the self-inflicted delusion persisted for the faithful they were shocked but not surprise when they learned the head elephant had walked away with much cash But his larcenous ways landed him in prison Money, something very dear to his black heart, or where his heart should have been, felt good; he didn’t need the cash, he had said he was wealthy and his multitudes believed his every lie On and on he talked, the media checked his words but to no avail nobody believed the lies the media reported since they trusted their leader, no one questioned him, lying became a part of his steady rhetoric and he escalated it Until the day his forty thousand obvious lies were too much and he lost the election by ten million votes and true to his character he did not leave with dignity he left violently Not a word was heard throughout the broken party called the GOP even they forgave him for absconding with much money but the opposition had done its job of throwing the corrupt out he and he was gone back to con-scam land where he had come from But the gullible sycophants naively incapable of learning history's lessons without critical analysis of what had brought down their party immediately began searching for the one who could finesse the lies their motto became "Stay True to the Big Lie" or "Ignorance is good" The blind faithful obeyed his misguided verbal bellows to vilify, discredit, attack and continue his false self-righteous ways to obstruct the law that was in hot pursuit the news that he was to be punished comforted the American citizen But on and on they go lying and denying to this day what the rest of the world knows to be true but the demolished idea of establishing the next Fourth Reich died when the cell door slammed shut This land that's always searching for ways to perfect the imperfect law, assist our sacred Constitution to forge forward always seeking to instruct on freedom, liberty, justice and improving those citizens' minds imbued with incalculable stupidity.
