One Day in the Life of Barack Obama

By Gideon Polya
Hey, hey, USA,
How many kids did you kill today?
Deliciously dreaming, half awake, half asleep,
Slowly he stretches and ventures a peep.
Marbled ablutions, dental spit,
Even an emperor has to shit.
Yes suh, no suh, a dusky maid
Serves bacon, eggs and marmalade.
Versaci-clad, elegant, the yes we can King
Emerges with flunkies with hand grips and spring.
Between limousine comforts arises the doubt
That it’s sure getting hotter for the Man with no clout.
Hard men, worse women, and power of state
Consign billions to mayhem and hunger, called Fate.
Feasts, entertainments, beauty and swain,
Thence ruling the World yields to slumber again.
Hey, hey, USA,
How many kids did you kill today?
Answer: 1,000.
