to pardon Joe Arpaio posts a clue
Trump doesn't give a damn, won't tolerate
non-violence, or anything we'd do
that doesn't march to his drum-beat of hate.
Arch-xenophobe who'd nail an immigrant
for fictive code infractions on the road
and dumb enough to think his president
wants more than photo-ops with his pet toad.
If Manafort and Flynn would just defy
subpoenas, they'll get pardons in their turn.
But should they sing, he'll hang them out to dry;
betrayers gotta know they're gonna burn.
Sicilians know omerta hides all crime
if no one's man enough to drop a dime.
