The greatness of America
As Trump would have us all believe
As though he’s Ozymandias
The greatness he wants to achieve
America that’s never been
Where money trumps all values else
Where morals never make the scene
And honor’s traded in for wealth
The CIA has certified
Khashoggi was by Saudis murdered
And what’s more they’ve verified
‘Twas done on MBS’s order
But Trump refuses to acknowledge
CIA’s results as fact
Claims that sanctions would be folly
For the Prince’s heinous act
Trump touts Saudi hundred billions
We would lose retaliating
Jobs as well approaching millions
Saudi cash would be creating
What’s one murder among friends
Khashoggi of the fake-news Press
Trump’s means are justified by ends
I doubt he buys the claims he’s said
He knows that It’s just fifteen billion
Twenty thousand jobs, perhaps,
The max commitment they are willing
Getting more’s like shooting craps
Two things I venture to conjecture
Cynical where Trump’s concerned
Things explaining Trump’s behavior
From the gutter, I have learned
Trump is pushing Kushner’s plan
For Israel and Palestine
And also countering Iran
He needs the Saudi Prince behind
The second reason, I suspect:
Trump’s fledgling holdings in the region
Causing Trump to disrespect
Our nation’s values, true malfeasance
