Mourning Joe

These riots cause diversion
from our first, worst aversion.
The king is pouring gasoline
on everything that’s not the queen.
No one starts a greater fire
than the first world’s biggest liar.
First he’ll tell you it’s just smoke.
When you burn that’s, like, his joke.
Fire starting has its reason.
It’s the best cover for treason.
Anyone who drops a dime:
heat’ll get them every time.
With a sheriff like Bic Barr,
protesters will not get far.
There’s some good in every crowd.
Don’t decry his crimes out loud.
Look, there go some left wing looters!
What if they burn down a Hooters?
Bad for the economy.
He can’t stand autonomy.
Cops kill blacks is one allusion.
Covers up his own collusion.
It’s a standard real time show.
Much as was his quid pro quo.
Nothing can’t be hidden, so,
set ’em up again, please, Joe.
