Pres. Obama may be a great President
His approval high ratings are evident
But it’s my observation
That regarding one nation
His inaction, masses dying is consequent
The country I’m referring to is Syria
When Assad’s lethal gassing caused hysteria
He had crossed the red line
That Obama defined
As his use-of-our-forces criteria
‘Though Obama stopped the gassing by diplomacy
Rebel forces then suffered some despondency
They were promised support
Of a physical sort
And we’re stunned by Obama’s inconsistency
Realizing he could act with impunity
Putin bombed rebel forces incessantly
Now Aleppo’s defeated
Rubblized and depleted
Its inhabitants facing calamity

I too am troubled by Russia’s apparent ability to commit war crimes with impunity. Will be very curious to see how Trump deals with Russia.
