Delusions of Grandeur

Executive privilege is like a cone of silence.

Under it one can do crimes that most folks would appall.
Everything including robbery, fraud and great violence,
must be allowed without question. Go have a ball.
Some say this fact sounds like dictator rule;
the wronged should be allowed position.
But those who have learned from executive school
say, sorry, that’s not our decision.
Our leaders must remain unquestioned,
the toadies and roadies explain.
To even reveal a suggestion
could derail the whole ruling chain.
We could have elected Al “Scarface” Capone
and no one could mention his past.
With murder and mayhem safe under his cone,
he literally could have a blast.
Whatever it says in our old constitution,
it doesn’t pertain to today.
There is no way out of a bad situation
if criminals have their own way.
