My dear country men, led astray

Puffed up chest an faces gushed

Wine of youth to head had rushed

Drummers whack, and "that drill"

Haven't we really had our fill

Used to clap at the passing tanks

Take delight in the files and ranks

Ah! days of yon we stood for grabs

Soaked the pride of peaked caps

How we gleefully gushed the tales

Now the downer everything pales

Amid us plunked the Trojan's horse

Vermin chomp through our corpse.

We're made to suffer tetchy lines        

Our cities Seized in snaring twines

Block this road in supreme interest!

Extra feather on a bloated breast

See the colors that adorn thy chest

Master's gracious, he's all bequest

Arrogant flaunts an obscene display

what thou accomplished, may I pray

innocuous names for imperial intent

Slow advance with assured portent

Pincer moves to grab as much

flanking sure it remains as such

Hidden behind this slick facade

Vile pretense and lame charade

We got Damocles, we got troy

Walked us to Gobi for the ploy

Superb models made in the halls

Our history's rogues mire the walls

Thinnest lips and stubby jerks

Spent in hell with all their perks

Jackals some an the dogs of war

denting scalawags all at par

Woe to slogans, deceptive spins

that bring to fore, laconic grins

A shadow an eye eternally watched

scum of the earth at Krystal-nacht

cobble a merger snatch our votes

knock up a gaggle of new turncoats

Old man willed the dog on a leash

not running wacky, lapping quiche

A tour of Venice, Aloha in Hawaii,

enchanting flesh in the sullied sty

procuring toys without a glitch

only a snap to make the switch

alter the specs to tailor a cause

this or that, o' change the laws

Slowly hulking to a hunkering beast

Feral and intense its gorging feast

The poison-ivy grows and grows

Ominous blight within us flows

Conceited pygmies twirl their canes

Thugs and smugs cool to the banes

Phoenix an Germania south of the hills

Skimpy li'l slumdogs jostle at the fills

The hydra's head has over grown

a David's aim could have it blown

Huge Goliath wouldn't have known

A lowly sling could have it thrown
