Truth is Scarier Than Fiction

He said he was assigned to defend me in a court of law
But since I have more brains than Oz’s man of straw
I knew something was up – he had a slight smirk
When he began to talk – I knew he was a jerk
Clearly someone with whom I did not want to work

Concerning the case – what he wished to know first
Was which of the facts I considered to be worst
Although for my problems he probed at great lengths
He did not at all seem concerned with my strengths
I trusted him with the case like I’d trust my wallet to thieves
So a smile entered my face when I finally got him to leave

For more stating of facts and less trumpeting of views
I turned on CNN for relatively unbiased news
The last attorney general stepped down last month due to “stress”
And a new one was appointed during a congressional recess
Of his legal expertise most senators weren’t sufficiently assured
But more disturbingly, his brother is an infamous drug lord
He downplayed the connection, saying he didn’t know his brother’s address
To his summer home, technically, which he tried to hide from the press
Another claim that he made was that it had been years since they spoke
Which actually referred to their reclusive uncle, ha what a clever joke

I thought he was kidding when I first heard about his plans for the war on
Drugs and curbing murder – he was serious but possibly a moron
His solution to the war on drugs was total decriminalization
Which was based on the pursuit of happiness clause in the Declaration
Of Independence which he said was basically part of the Constitution
So softer drugs could be legalized and taxed as a deficit-fighting solution
While there would be no laws at all for opiates and cocaine
Was his brother involved? Can spaghetti sauce stain?
How is this a victory? I’m not really sure
Unless it’s winning by not losing more in an un-winnable war

As for the fight against murder, the extent of his ambition
Did not include decreasing violence – only redefinition
He said it was wrong that soldiers could kill their enemy and avoid trial
But when civilians kill their foes, the deed is treated like it’s quite vile
Instead of protesting both, he extended the right
To kill to anyone who paid to register the fight
It wouldn’t apply for a week, and attacking before that could mean jail
The other party needed a chance to see the declaration of war in the mail
When dissenters spoke of national loyalty, he said to face the facts –
There’s not much loyalty to America left after the mess in Iraq
He said the idea of ”Us and them” is outdated in the present day
Because the whole world is basically an extension of the USA
