Fall from Grace

When John Kelly joined team Trump,

Becoming the president's Chief of Staff,

Many thought he'd be the one

To separate the wheat from the chaff--

 

To rein the frenzied president in

Or guide him when he's out of line.

If those were the expectations,

So far there has been no sign.

 

Instead, the man basically

Promotes Trump's nativist dreams;

Obnoxious tweets continue to flow

From Trump's phone in steady streams.

 

Lying to back the president's lies,

Kelly has lost all credibility.

Calling Rob Porter a man of honor,

Shows less strength and more servility.

 

A man of greatness, pride, and conviction

Needn't resort to subterfuge.

The once-honorable general

Has now become the president's stooge.
