Down deeper let’s look at the pardoning of Joe
Just what does it do to the Justice we know?
Just how does it weaken Trump probes now in progress
And undermine centuries old jurisprudence?
Trump’s act mocks our standing: a nation of laws
It overrides witnesses, judges and all
Done to politically payback Arpaio
For early support disregarding his bio
Now Manafort, Kushner and Flynn needn’t worry
About being flipped for their unbridled stories
Of what really happened ‘tween Trump and the Russians
No clemency needed with Trump pardons trumping
To pardon a convict for favors political
Or for suppression is highly inimical
To founding principles on which we’ve flourished
A nation of justice and laws that we cherish
