Our country is run like the mafia:
Tariffs, extortions and bribes;
You give me this, I’ll give you that,
And make something more on the side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s the art of the deal, the sleaze and the steal,
Applied to all aspects of life:
Science and schooling and now foreign trade:
In their backs stab your friends with a knife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And so we see turmoil and stress and chaos:
\u201cThe wages of sin is death.\u201d
What will the day bring? What baffling news?
We wait with bated breath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The daily results are sad and tragic;
Money lost and taxes high.
But the long-term effect on trust and morals
Will kiss our nation goodbye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our city on a hill, our light to the world,
Dethroned and darkened with greed.
\u201cWill no one rid us of this turbulent priest?\u201d
Who will step up to lead?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
