He claims crises are never his doing.
He says none of what’s broken
Can be.
Not the harm.
Not the scams.
Not the spread of corruption,
Or growing alarm.
It is all others’
Fault.

Is bad.

It’s the doing of fools
Who complain
And fake hardships besides.
Obdurate,
He mocks all
Who point out
Lies he told.
To him every word
From his mouth
Is pure gold.
