Judge of All the Dead
Somebody died? Let’s hear Obama’s views!
Let’s hear Obama’s wise evaluation!
Let it be headlined now on Yahoo News!
Let it be broadcast now on every station,
featured on every channel! Oh, elation–
if, when you die, Obama holds you high
in his impromptu funeral oration!
Though you be dead, you’ll be one lucky guy.
If you are sure he likes you, you should die
already: his esteem is your reward.
Next to that, life is just a futile sigh.
Of blessings he’s our lone and lofty lord.
Another item in life’s endless drama:
the death of Prince is all about Obama.
–Tom Riley
A sonorous sonnet !
Too late for the princes who have passed beyond this world…
It’s the Prince of this world I wish would be dethroned more completely.
