To the Editor:
the precedent Obama leaves in place
the precedent Obama leaves in place
by whacking al-Awlakis, pere et fils
should scare us all, now Donald's on the case
no one of us will ever sleep in peace
the promises of Due Process of Law
don't mean a thing when no one prosecutes
in execution lurks the fatal flaw
the DA's mute when his supreme boss shoots
perhaps a journalist is next in queue
investigating Trump's business affairs
who guarantees it won't be me, or you
who's centered in the next Hellfire's crosshairs
aspiring to be ruled by laws, not men
we've stretched our necks to our Leviathan
