Wiser men than I have warned
That looks can be deceiving
While others chant the slogan
That seeing is believing
And though the things we’re seeing
Are amazingly unpleasant
The cameras recording them
Are clear and omnipresent
Each morning we wake up to view
(Assembled while we’re dreaming)
Recordings of the ruling class
On all our iPhones, streaming
And when we see our President
Wandering and gaffing
It’s just a bit concerning
That our enemies are laughing
But wait! We’re told by those who know
Between commercial breaks
We shouldn’t pay attention
Those videos are fakes
And so the message growing
In the President’s defense is
Everything is rosy and
We shouldn’t believe our senses
They’re counting that the county’s
Overwhelmed with gullibility
And cashing in the chips of their
Remaining credibility
I’m used to seeing selling out
In tawdry Netflix drama
Or for someone who’s uniquely
Charismatic like Obama
But what I cannot understand
And what I need to know
Why are they out there on that limb
And doing this… for Joe?
Instead of asking questions
They’re casting camouflage
He must have dirt on everyone
In his Delaware garage.
