Somebody Please Change the Channel



The leader is looking up to the sky
Saying he is the Chosen One
The reader wonders: to laugh or to cry?
Praying the leader may soon be gone

Mr. Leader looking unwell
Looking at you we ask what have we done?
You are not the King of Israel
Just how long oh Lord must this show go on?
Somebody please change the channel
Looking for anything else but nothing

To some you may be a hero
Giving yourself the Medal of Honor
Buying Greenland when they will not sell
Heroes are those you chose to dishonor
Waiting for fate when time will tell

The leader if anything not a king
But the second coming of Nero
Playing at emperor of everything
With everything going to hell

You said it, and said it well. The chosen one plays golf while the world burns.

Say Something Terrorible v3 by RickthePoetWarrior

My mom says ‘If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything’. Sorry mom but under the guise of poetic license I penned these beauties.
