our hero

it would be best to understate the case
to call the thing a problem not a mess
to say that those who question have no place
except as hinderers of real progress

the swift pr visit the heavily secured dash
provide an imitation of prompt action
as on the streets the sullen militias clash
and power belongs to the most ruthless faction

the important thing you see's the photo op
showing our noble leader's firm determination
with the new puppet hero as a prop
to give legitimacy to a sham demonstration

the careful calculation of these soi-disant brave deeds
is in respect of coming voting needs
