Guess Who

i'll swap with autocrats

the territory of

two free people

for flattery and a bribe

i'll partner in a genocide

with a country whose soldiers

sexually abuse and torture

women and children

i'll take you money

in exchange for a promise

of a shiny commodity

you'll never receive

i'll rage in a late night post

about making the country better

then do every corrupt act

i know to make sure that it doesn’t

i'll destroy each good thing

i touch and fail in every enterprise

but boast that i’m the only one

who can get things done

and if you continue

to support me i'll revise

the christian creed

and tell you it's ok

to hate your neighbor
