Wolfowitz
Pray, where's the next stop, brilliant, all-knowing fiend,
After causing harm to your nation right up to the end?
Unleashing your poison on a tired, unsuspecting world,
Look where you are now after your lies have been told.
Wicked of you to push your country to worthless fighting,
Out through the back door you exit, a disgraced underling;
Lying through your teeth, causing much misery and death,
From the very start you plotted with each frenzied breath;
Oh, you forgot that even the self-righteous had to reflect,
War equally destroys the vanquished and its architect,
In the end you pay for each of your sinister mistakes;
To see you squirm in your hot seat with your paramour,
Zeus himself can’t save you as they lift you off the floor.
