President Narcissus


Mirror Mirror on the wall

Who’s the fairest of them all?

His reflection so pretty everything has to

Stop

Drowning in beauty

Choking on ego

 

Narcissus sits at the top

They kiss his feet

And pass his laws

The King, The Boss,

The crooked and Self absorbed

His eyes, dimands

His soul, dirty, filthy, coal

 

A corrupt politician behind closed doors

Charming, Coy to the public eye

He will refuse to play along

Me, myself and I he thinks

As he sits and waits

For tragedy to go by

Misfortune has never helped his compain

 

Mr. Narcissus gets what he wants

Don’t say no, smile nod

Elections to him?

A high school popularity contest

He gets by on his good looks

Not cut out for this job, “They” all say

Mr. Narcissus stares at his reflection is responce

 

But when obsessed with self-image

You might self-destruct

Scandals and crimes

Violence and cruelty

“They” can’t look away

 

Mirror Mirror on the wall

Who’s the most evil of them all?

Echo knows

She won’t be tricked

The leader…

Is no better than child throwing a fit

 

Echo knows

Narcissus is not humble

Echo knows

He has vetoed and refused to vote

Echo knows

 

Narcissus prefers to waste his days looking in a mirror

And even though

Echo knows

One eventually gets tired

Of Eching the Truth

 

And getting told it is

Fake News
