To Cover Up a Cover-up

To cover up a cover-up
Is an endless stream
Of one cover-up after another--
Scheme after scheme.

Here we're talking secret servers,
Money, a smear campaign,
Foreign involvement, people flying
To and from Ukraine.

On a particular day we think
The mystery has been solved.
And then--surprise!--we find out that
More people are involved.

The growing cast of characters
Is astounding, but
Watch them try to push back as
Across the stage they strut.

Telling the truth is easier
Than nurturing a lie.
Obviously, mendacity
Is hard to rectify.

The president--or king of disorder--
Solves the problem thus:
Distract the public by throwing our allies--
The Kurds--under the bus.

Ah, now that just further shows
The man cannot be trusted.
It's dangerous having a leader who's
Completely maladjusted.

While they lie to hide the truth
And be roundabout,
They shouldn't act too surprised
When the truth comes out.
