Thieves, crooks, frauds, liars and grifters
Cowardly, spineless, position shifters
These are your right hands
In so deep, it mars their faces
Mounting ethical, political disgraces
With glee they satisfy your every whim
Once respected, now they can’t believe their own words
Justifying evil as soon as it occurs
How massive is the dirt you have on them?
In lockstep, their legacies in tatters
No attention paid to what really matters
Souls sold-- and exactly for what?
Seats at tables stripped of respect?
Swirling doubt of their wisdom; intellect?
To be tethered to you by cords they're scared to cut?
Hiding out in luxury, but never safe
Boatloads of money, and it’s funny they wait
For you to pardon them for the crimes that they commit
They took the fall just to keep you legit
Enablers all, hoping you won’t forget
In your fickle, little hands is their fate
High profile cronies risked illness; some have died
Buried now, and with them, specifics why
Loved ones shamed by the blind loyalty
Bootlickers ignore that you're loyal to no one
You keep your hands clean, and when the deals are done
You completely forget their identities
Complicit in it all, they're hands are wringing
Whistleblowers, like canaries, urgently singing
Cameras catching every trip and stumble, now
Ranting and enraged; their time is fleeting
Can't win fair and square, so they’ve resorted to cheating
Can't just tell the truth--
They simply don't know how
Every day-- pettiness, chaos, and confusion
More evidence of gross incompetence; delusion
Corruption in high places is our foe
It's not just greed and selfishness we daily see here
It's insecurity, no empathy, intimidation, and fear
Development arrested long ago
An opportunist's dream; a crook's delight
As one by one, the people by his side
Prove they've no shame, and no integrity
Grifters, crooks, liars, frauds, and thieves
Still scheming; wheeling, dealing as a nation grieves
Another entry for the epic fails of History
