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
