a central casting pantomimethe worst actor center stage
but many others stand behind
myriad compromises signed
merely the face of deep malaise
a central casting pantomime
email hackers, secrets, lies
misogynist's childish rampage
and many others stand behind
the rich who want their pockets lined
cabinet heads, all depraved
a central casting pantomime
lest you and I lose our minds
impeachment fantasies backstage
but many others stand behind
always a cover-up, never the crime
at which villain do we rage
in a central casting pantomime
where many others stand behind
(See: "Donald Trump isn't the only villain -- the Republican party shares the blame," Jonathan Freedland, the guardian)
