Yesterday's News
At the peak of his power and fame,
they trembled at the sound of his name,
like scared cats sneaking
past a dog sleeping,
they kowtowed before him without shame.
Now he's down, not much of any use,
he's history, to them that's obvious,
openly mocking,
playfully taunting,
they now treat him like yesterday's news !
