Nearly Nero



Day by day as seen on TV
A fearful situation

An earful of indignity
Clearly nearly Nero now
Sneering hero to some somehow

Having zero tolerance
For anything but the grievance
Of his insult comedy

Disrespectful but expecting
Respectful reelecting

A cult of personality
That digs his indignation
Taken out upon the nation

Forsaken mistakenly
The nation is shaken to be
Awakening reflecting

Though Nero fiddles on for now
Not my hero anyhow

Well put. He certainly is fiddling away his credibility with mournful blaming and high praises for the un-praiseworthy.

Nero: According to Tacitus he was said to have seized Christians as scapegoats for the Roman fire and burned them alive, seemingly motivated not by public justice but by personal cruelty. Don't see that happening just yet.
