Chimera Changeling
His policy views shift randomly
with the ever changing political winds
Whatever he ousted yesterday —
tomorrow, presto change-o ...
tweetle de dum, it’s blowing back in
Mirror, mirror chimera,
a thousand faces that constantly change
Mirror, mirror chimera,
your countenance of pride remains the same
In a planning Session,
he vows to stand by you
Promises are arbitrarily given
Then in a tweet message,
he labels you a disloyal recuse
Agreements are willfully broken
Mirror, mirror chimera,
your kaleidoscope faces they constantly change
Mirror, mirror chimera,
the reflection of your vanity remains the same
Opposition butte and chasm of criticism,
doesn’t deter his fickle meanderings
Always able to sway
the base support to walk his way
In one direction he will never stay,
his spirit is cursed to stray
Though their unwavering adulation spurs him onward,
his inclination to gyrate wildly is self-sustained
He’s a leader without any purposeful aim
Mirror, mirror chimera,
a thousand goals that constantly change
Mirror, mirror chimera,
your mutating priorities never stay the same
Chimera changeling,
spawned from an unstable genome
The crooked path of volatility
always leads him back to his chaos home
