The President Who Cried Wolf

His sheep
had increased
in numbers

His little herd
now surpassed
three hundred
thirty million

But his tactics
had not matured
A desire
to tell the truth
still eluded him
despite all the
sheep who had
suffered under
his negligent care

The boy,
despite his
seventy-two years,
still endlessly
cried wolf

10,796 times
last I checked

but his lips
may have moved
since then
