Taking The Fifth

We are in the middle of an electoral play.
Romeo and Juliet have long since passed away.
Hillary and little Marco fell before the sword.
Lyin’ Ted and Lazy Jeb were just cast overboard.
Now the king is fighting off his own appointed men.
Bannon, Flynn and Manafort. The south will rise again.
He dreams it all, a wonder wall, across the southern border,
a monument to arrogance, an ode to law and order.
He twists his lies to alibis, he tortures truth to end.
He will be tried for all his sins. The devil is his friend.
