Welcome to My Poetry Site
What Would the President Do?
Let's say a foreign government
Butcher's a U.S. resident
In Istanbul, Turkey, while
You're the U.S. president.
What's more important to you
Is making more money down the line
By maintaining business ties
That NOT even murder can undermine.
If greed is your primary motive,
You'll justify your point of view
By asking yourself the following question:
What would the current president do?
Let's say certain autocrats
Make dissenters disappear.
You're entranced by how the despots
Maintain their power that you hold dear.
If power is your primary motive,
You'll justify your point of view
By asking yourself the following question:
What would the current president do?
If people desperate for asylum
Come to your border seeking relief,
And you want to show the heartlessness
Of a xenophobic commander in chief,
Then show them that your heartlessness
Can justify your point of view
By asking yourself the following question:
What would the current president do?
If you want to stop an investigation
That possibly looks bad for you,
You can obstruct justice by asking,
What would the current president do?
If you think your unscrupulousness
Allows you to break every taboo,
You've learned a lot from asking yourself,
What would the current president do?
