The World Has Suffered Predators and Zealots, but Never Such Complete Idiots
Has there ever been a duller bunch? I don't believe
There has. A two-bit tyrant leads them. Like a child,
He runs back and forth, his policies no more than
Whims, his minions morons endlessly colliding as they
Try to do as he has ordered before he wants something
Else. You're fired, then they ask you back. You lose
Your grant, then it's restored. You have a card which
Shows that you're entitled to be living here, but find
Yourself declared gangster and deported on a plane
(To somewhere you have never lived). A penstroke
Costs a trillion dollars. Whoops! Another brings them
Back. The world spins, goes up and down, a yo-yo
In their clumsy hands, and, sadly, we have just begun
To be led by these dopes.
