Bwana Obama

He was, he is, the “Charlatan in Loincloth”
The “Lord of the Jungle” sans sun block
Self-appointed tree-top emperor
Vine swinger extraordinaire
Master of all that he surveys
Fighting for truth and justice
White Man style…in deepest, darkest Africa
And when he bellows the ground rumbles
As hordes of elephants stampede per his command
Now, in a strange twist of fate
Irony in the visage of Ebony
Another man reigns as “Lord of the Jungle”
Towering trees are replaced by K-street vistas
A conciliator extraordinaire
Implicated master of all he surveys
Fighting for truth and justice
Black Man style…in deepest, whitest America
Yet the true paradox is that when he speaks
Hordes of “Elephants” still stampede
