Powell's heir

Rex Tillerson's got no use for his boss
what he constructs, that fucking moron breaks.
The anti-Midas, turns all things to dross
and barters rare originals for fakes.
He's only stuck it out this long for Mike.
But--for is part--he wants governor Pence
to do more than stick fingers in the dike
and testify to Trump's incompetence.
The 25th Amendment's all the rage
as scholars grasp at any floating straw
to save us from the latest Trump outrage
the remedy's untested, but it's law.
Reluctant Brutus weighs his loyalties
as our republic totters to her knees.
