Politician

There was a fossil with a baseball cap

Let them drown at sea, killed them in exile,

Looked the other way when war was declared,

Left them homeless in the streets of his town.

Reproved young children beseeching a future,

Sold the earth to spite clear sky with lead,

Looked the other way while coral bleached,

Added up his profit, secure and unlosable.

“With pomp, with triumph and with reveling”

The fossil celebrated his short miracle,

A chance to prolong all he did before

Who wooed them, wowed and won them with fear,

Doing them injuries as yet unseen,

An average threat to the yet unborn.
