Statesmanship?

 

Happenings most serious within our land today
Graham-Cassidy defeated thanks to Susan Collin’s NO
Puerto Rico’s in the dark; within there’s been no aid
And North Korea claims we’re going to war, which isn’t so

Meanwhile, Trump, our President, had spent most of his time
Just criticizing football teams who exercised their rights
Trump’s messages were vulgar, all his words were dripping slime
He essentially ignored these major happenings in sight

There’s nothing Trump can do to resurrect the health-care bill
And nosing into Puerto Rico he’d be in the way
His full attention’s needed backing off his words so shrill
Conversing thus with Kim Jung-un as diplomats might say

Trump needs to understand the pressures Kim must undergo
If Kim backs down, is seen as soft, his generals will him kill
Any insult Trump may hurtle, Kim must higher go
Trump stupidly keeps egging on as though to force his will

So now we’re on the brink of war, conventional most likely
Seoul would be demolished, many thousand casualties
Before we’d ramp up overtaking Kim Jong’s main Army
Always with the threat of nucs, that’s the reality

It’s time for reason, statesmanship, let rhetoric tone down
It’s time to recognize the state for what it is in retrospect
An H-bomb capable , missile capable country that is bound
And so determined to receive the whole world’s full respect
