Who Is the Leader

Hate to bring it up again
(actually, no I don't)
Someone at the top's in charge
he just can't lead (or won't)

Guess it's time to ring the bell
he's going to toot his horn
Thinking back as organizer
he'll pat his back till morn

Half the country (give or take)
are saying prayers for him
Some he won't appreciate
their faith is growing thin

Doesn't mention fallen heros
veterans and cops too
Worries, hopes their cameras worked
encouraging familys sue

Never mind thugs were involved
they twist it, things look bad
Just like Eric Holder did
it's really very sad

In just less than a year from now
and that really isn't long
He'll be replaced by left or right
we hope they "right the wrong"

I wouldn't bet the store on it
they've none lived up to oath
Main concern is wealth increase
and yes, it is for both.....

Good one, Pete...I feel the same way about these things. Maybe Trump will be Andrew Jacksonesque...liked by the people and hated by those with their hands out(especially the establishment who are parasites with manners)
