Hawk Preparing to Land

As National Security Adviser

H.R. McMaster walks out the door,

A hungry hawk circles the White House.

Watch it dive; watch it soar.

 

The hawk has a name: John Bolton,

Conspiracy theorist of long standing;

Reckless, far-right ideologue.

In April the hawk will be landing.

 

Bolton, who's openly advocated

Preemptive nuclear war with two

Countries--Iran and North Korea--

Will glide in and land on cue.

 

Once a leading cheerleader

Of the war in Iraq, Bolton, whose theory

Is war first, diplomacy second,

Should cause the rest of us to be leery.

 

Pushing military involvement

And advocating change of regime

Would only encourage the president

To set in motion a dangerous scheme.

 

In 2013, Bolton uttered

Words that show where his loyalties lie

As he hailed the new era of freedom

In PUTIN's Russia! What a guy!

 

So Bolton nested near the president--

A man whose ego couldn't be bigger,

Who doesn't follow judicious advice

And has his finger on the trigger--

 

Makes the whole world feel uneasy.

How scary could things get?

Prepare yourself for turbulent times

Because you ain't seen nothin' yet.
