These Times in Rhymes: July 16, 2015 (Trump--Iran)

--Trump--

Trump--a product of Citizens United--

Revealed the details of his massive wealth.

With all of his billions that man could afford

Some guidance in the area of mental health.

You see, he's having a difficult time

Distinguishing between fantasy and fact.

Is it that he just takes great pride

In not making sense? Or is it an act?

He says Hispanics LOVE him and insists

That he'll get their votes, which seems to negate

The fact that polls among Hispanics show

An 81% unfavorable rate.

Some voters fall for Trump's inflated

And pompous oratory; but not all.

The Republican debates are going to be humorous

When all their backs are against the wall.

--Negotiations with Iran--

The U. S. along with other world powers

Negotiated a nuclear agreement with Iran.

Twenty months or so have passed

Since these important talks began.

Capping uranium and plutonium production

And 24/7 monitoring of facilities

Are among the arrangements to limit

Iran's nuclear weapons capabilities.

Not all people are in agreement.

Certain critics have let rip

Some harsh criticisms involving hostages.

But HERE that wasn't a bargaining chip.

Did the Saudis oppose the deal

Because the Iranians are terrorists? Maybe, uh…

Didn't most of the 9-11

Terrorists come from Saudi Arabia?

Diplomatic solutions are best.

That's a key point to underscore.

The hawks have a different idea;

For them a better solution is war.
