Might have to hang up the robe and gavel
Coulda gone diff'rent
Your mistake was sucking up
He's still milking it
Said opposite, but
Disrespected the mojo
Mixed the messages
Undermined it too
Ego, hubris, alcohol
Living in the past
Last minute, "I'm out"
Said it wasn't about him.
Who here saw "all in"?
Pumping his legend,
protecting his status, and
saying, "Not my fault."
Enab'lers galore
He had his cake; ate it too
Many complicit
Prankster wasn't fooled
Just mocked, bullied, and ignored
By cocky coward
Still taking credit
And would do so either way
That's how he built it
Abdication and
pedestal and escape hatch
Hiding in plain sight
He had a great run
And briefly acknowledged 'twas
merely a "channel"
Couldn't leave it there
Ultimately undone by
Insecurity
Power corrupts, and
absolute power corrupts,
yep, absolutely
Decried long gone fun
Like an old clique's gatekeeper
(Maybe unaware)
All things must pass
Better days will surely come
Thanks for your service
