faithless II

No ally should accept us at our word;
We're quick to contradict the things we'll say.
Each generation seems to screw the Kurds,
And Trump's a different guy from day to day.
Pesh Murga've fought our fights, and paid their dues.
But self-determination's "premature"?
They're not as influential as the Jews;
Our treaties toothless as Trump's addled slur.
But Trumpty-Dumpty's never made a friend
He's been the loner since his unplanned birth.
Still using people as means to his end;
Alliances to Trump are of no worth.
The clown's as free of honor as of class.
who trusts in Donald takes it up the ass.

faithless

Betraying Kurdish allies on a whim
Trump reaffirms he knows no loyalty.
But loyalists who'd put their faith in him
still haven't found the balls to mutiny.
With Pence at least, you're getting an adult--
Albeit one snarled in Mom's apron strings.
But trumpsters so entangled in his cult
don't mind that Don's a brat who would be king.
No Christian ought to take him at his word;
He cheats on loans, and liens, and wedding vows.
But maybe handing Erdogan the Kurds
Is more than even Robertson allows.
McConnell's got his back, but for how long?
When even true believers see Trump's wrong.

unfaithful

James Mattis knows our interest's with the Kurds;
our dalliance with Erdogan's a bust.
But Trump's alliances are empty words
and no one should extend him any trust.
The general's moved on from the ColdWar
He'll take the write-off; Incirlik's a loss.
While Trump grasps nothing of what's gone before
but needs the world to hail him as the boss.
The world knows well how Powell's name got trashed
to sell a war on Cheney's bogus shit.
Yet who can tell if this will be the clash
that makes a Secretary up and quit?
Today, Trump's scolding his chum, Erdogan
and Mattis knows the reins are in his hand.

petty tyrant

when Erdogan broke faith with Turkey's Kurds
he tipped his country into civil war
dismissing loyal citizens as turds
who looked for honest service from this whore
the Europeans snubbed his bid to join
the Economic Union of the rich
a metaphoric boot-toe to the groin
provoking him to whine and pout and bitch
he thought himself a new Salahuddin
bold champion of Islam to the West
but Europe's never gonna let him in
until he shows a clean Wasserman test
he loves the Turks (when he's up for a vote)

but still prefers to fuck his poxy goat
