What is mistaken so is
dire self-aggrandizement
by ambitious fellows
re-baptized by citizens
hijacked by opportunists
as true love for a nation
It is a nickname, a vanity
I coulda written that song, “Purple Rain.”
It didn’t take that big of a brain.
And I coulda written that song “Hotel California.”
But girl - I do wanna warn ya!
I’ve always been considered at least halfway insane.
We are on a precipice of War
Yet you spurn the most skilled Knight
Just to stoke your selfish Desire?
You choose pettiness over the Realm
The tempest is Imminent
Yet you let the chief captain disembark
Just to assert your dominance against mutiny?
You choose self-aggrandizement over Lives.
Oh Master!
lies and obfuscation
revenge politics
game of the day
extremists
s p l i t
hold hostage the government
power money
self-aggrandizement
rule
oaths of honor, loyalty
strewn by the wayside
Congress in disarray
called to a halt
impasse
God help
the American public
The tyrants psyche is broken.
He sits in his gilded palace
Surrounded by his trusty band
Of armed thuggish cutthroats, waiting
For the inevitable end.
Outside the palace walls a crowd
Of angry, loathing citizens
Whose long suppressed voices bellow
An immediate regime change;
But like most tyrants of the past
Ego and self-aggrandizement
Deludes clear, rational thinking;
As a result, grasping at straws
Hoping for the impossible.
