Benghazigate

Twas Watergate which proved once more The pen is mightier than the Sworn With pomp and circumstance imbibed The deed did not, they said, but lies Though exile begs for sterner stuff The cover-up proved quite enough And with that vaunted victory The fourth estate, filled with esprit Entitled now to win them all Does cover up their leftist flaws Benghazi wrought a flood of lies Unworthy of a bloody "Why" Four fallen innocents ignored Obama's press an undead 'corpse' A video turned man to beast So said the mouths of hillary Without a thought for those accused Of homicide based on a ruse Though cover-up once ruled the day With democrats in charge, that changed Yet, if the shoe had shifted feet They'd headline every word and deed Benghazigate? Don't hold your breath Truth won't inspire the mainstream press And stealing secrets always trumps four deaths

Nice write.. It is so muddled what ever really happens filtered through a media that serves the ruling body, but I am sure that the full story is not revealed to us.. A retaliation to a video>? Anyway, your poem inspired me to research the subject matter. Good job, thanks for sharing ~Joel
