end game

Steve Bannon plays on Trump's incompetence
to seize the helm that guides our Ship of State
a cataclysm that seems fine to Pence
wrapped up in lies as if it's something great
apocalyptic Christianity
discounts all suff'ring in the now and here
insisting we accept as mystery
a god to whom our first response is fear
with certainty befitting of a pope
he intimates he has a secret plan
insisting that our one, and only hope
rests not in God, nor Law, but in this man
four horsemen gallop on a scorched, dead plain
exploiting an electorate in pain
