Jamal Khashoggi
Jamal Khashoggi was kidnapped and murdered
It now is quite widely believed
‘Twas inside the embassy, Saudi in Turkey
This dastardly deed was achieved
The Turks have recordings and video filming
The torture, the murder throughout
That prove ‘twas the Saudis so blatant and gory
Which leaves almost no room for doubt
Jamal was a journalist, a Saudi national
Residing in the US
He worked for the Post, admired by most
Was critical of MBS
Mohammed Bin Salman, the Saudi Crown Prince
Denies it was at his behest
The Saudis had nothing to do with what happened
Perhaps the whole story’s a jest
Meanwhile, unconvinced is Trump, but if it’s really true
The measures we’ll take will be stern
Will sanctions be levied on arms sales to Saudi?
Of course not, that’s money we’d burn
One hundred ten billion in arms sales to Saudi
Job losses would be very high
Except it’s not so; four Pinocchios true
We’re awarded to Trump for his Iies
Trump’s financial ties to the Saudi regime
Purported to be billions strong
Will dictate his handling of this sad affair
Not values we’ve stood for so long
