Crisis of confidence glacial breakaway
Noxious whitehouse gases no limits
Massive icebergs hidden below surface
Cracks revealing abysmal credibility gaps
Harsh CIA interrogations topless secrets
Terror suspects barraged with humiliating
Painful physical ill-conceived psychological tactics
Waterboarding simulated drowning sadistic mind-games
Bent funhouse sideshow mirror distortions
Warped values emotional roller coaster
Derailed friction on collision course
Loop-the-Loop thrill ride suffering whiplash
Unethical Age of Manic Depression
Drip-drip-drip scandals unbecoming deluge
Nothing too extreme mood swings
Cruel uncivil rights inhuman wrongs
Technology capable of improving standards
Conscientious objectors mass destruction weapons
Potential for goodness gracious evildoers
Grounded rusty anchor common decency
Moral is there are none
If WE can do it
To THEM why won’t THEY
Do the same to US
