Bling for a King

All That Glitters

By: - Dec 13, 2016

Bling for a King

Midas touch of
Autocrats and dictators
Magnificent palaces
Elena and Nicolae Ceausescu
Romania’s oppressors
Their people starving
Gold faucets
Imelda Marcos
All those shoes
Athletes and rappers
Lots of bling
Excess of success
Rings on every finger
Diamonds as
Big as the Ritz
Trump Tower
Seat of power
All that glitters
The Donald
Like his pal Putin
Now Czar of America
When Trump
Takes a dump
Throne of gold
So it is told
Feeling the love
Crass as Crassus
Wearing his toga
Visiting the Senate
Tossing coins
To the masses
Voodoo economics
Circling the arena
Winged chariot
Praetorian guard
Cabinet of generals
Captains of industry
Sweaty swagger
Kiss the ring
Feel the sting
Come Bastille Day
Those who
Would be king
