Lesser of Two Evils
A Donkey
and
A Buffalo
parade before the sheep
staking claim
to rule
Says the buffalo,
Brothers and friends
I’m one of you
You’ve given me a chance
Give me one more
I’ll make sure
we sheep
roar like lions
The donkey shuffles,
as uncomfortable
as it could ever be
Calls the fallacy
of the Buffalo
as the undeniable truth
Forgets its lines
Forgets
that it’s just a
Donkey
The buffalo guffaws
Silly donkey,
How dare you?
Trying to be a lion
Do you even have
A fifty-six inch
chest?
The donkey bristles
My great-grandpa was a lion
My grandma was a lion
My pa,
God rest his soul
was a lion
Stupid buffalo
I’ll lead the sheep
It’s my destiny
Listen Donkey,
I’ve introduced
many schemes
Made the sheep
feel lions’ pride
Idiotic ass
Just because
your forefathers claimed
to be lions
Wouldn’t change
your genes
Useless buffalo,
Your history is
Painted with sheep blood
How dare you
claim to be
One of them?
Blood in my history
Blood money in yours
Don’t you know that
Money talks?
Naïve donkey
Hung up on
Escape velocity
of the untouchable sheep!
Blind stubborn buffalo
Harping on your
flopped ideas
and fundamentalism!
Fudging GDP
and economic growth
Money’s still black
like the insides
of your saffron coated heart
Yet here you are
thumping your fifty-six inch chest
to a tune
that isn’t the truth!
The sheep bleat
in characteristic chorus
Is our fate so pitiful?
Reduced to vote for
A donkey
or
A buffalo,
self-proclaimed
saviors of sheep
surrounded by hyenas,
to lead us?
Ideals be damned!
Issues be damned!
Sheep be damned!
When did it become
a Sophie’s choice?
All we could is
bleat and be civil
Accept the black ink and
select the
Lesser of two EVILS!
