OH, TO BE POTUS

With power there is license,

freedom from indictment,

from incarceration.

The Power of POTUS

brings absolute impunity

that mere street criminals do not know

and there’s plenty of support

and mountains of money

to pay legions of lawyers

to forestall justice,

to prevent punishment

and walk away scot-free

while petty criminals do time

every time

with their record following them

for the rest of their lives.

To be POTUS is to be forever

above the law,

it is to ignore and laugh at the law

which every other citizen must obey.

To be POTUS is to exercise

Power that only demons can possess.
