Executive Action
Whine of drones is a clear indication
Diplomacy is not being considered.
Legitimacy’s readily deferred
Concerning judgement of a rogue nation.
It’s the will of the Commander in Chief
That can decide upon robust action
To eliminate a capital faction,
Disregarding the terror and the grief.
Borders are not sacrosanct boundaries,
Sovereignty not so sovereign after all.
Which governments rise, succeed or fall
Is subject to the markets’ vagaries.
Sound of drones is sycophants eulogising
The great leader whose stock, it seems, is rising.
