A beautiful spectacle,
Spoiled momentarily by the
crowds
Disapproval of the man.
How very unfortunate.
What had the man done?
Shred the Constitution?
Unleash the dogs of war?
Rape the Treasury?
Had he ignore the poisoning of
the earth?
Hired incompetents or worse?
Close off alternative opinions,
Or cause the deaths of hundreds
of thousands?
To be subjected to the assembled
disapproval
Before the nations’ cameras.
Dreadful!
Pundits voiced their mild
impatience.
This crowd should know better.
Had not the man tried to do what
was best?
Ah, the rub: Best for who?
Did this enormous crowd believe
he’d rewarded the rich?
Not done his best for New
Orleans?
Surely the no-bid contracts in
Iraq were best for the country.
Was it his fault so many did not
understand and appreciate his efforts?
Didn’t the oil companies need
his help?
Couldn’t the people look back
and see the value of his 8 years?
To suggest that the criminal in
charge
Should be treated with
surpassing respect,
Ignores his wanton destruction
of our dialogue,
Replacing it with fear and hate.
Since lynching requires packed
lunch baskets,
Hanging was out.
Perhaps an extra shoe, one to
each attendee ,
Would have sufficed.
