Portrait - Of This….A Shady Administration Poem by James B. Earley
Portrait - Of This….A Shady Administration
….Battleship-wide..admired
Though summarily fired...
"Commanding Officer"...protecting...his crew
….Morality's crazy
Same Navy...
Pardoned murderer...through "Executive" review
...Might the above six lines
Also critically define...
Hypocrisy's - arrogant blunder
...Whose irrational din
"Making America Great Again"...
Just a Presidency...gone asunder
...Leadership's crazy
Same Navy...
Pardoned murderer...in Executive review
...Yet disgracefully fired
The ethically admired...
Ship's Captain...when defending...his crew
