A Country Once Great

The British Isles once was great
That was when, Britania ruled the waves
They settled, reigned and pilaged
Then the pound sterling, to the masses, they were slaves

In nineteen hundred and forty-six
Shortly after the second world war
The American dollar became international currency
And the British pound, certainly was no more

This concept is alright, as long as it's backed
By tangible materials, a trading country can behold
But there is a problem, with too much paper and ink
When the currency cannot be redeemed, by either silver or gold

That being said, let's fast-forward to twenty-sixteen
The international currency's country, is twenty-trillion in debt
How can this liabilty ever be fulfilled
Without an economic collapse and everything being reset

Which brings us to a new President's words
A proclamation, “this country, again will be great”!
How can this be, can he not see
As with global warming, it will be, too little and too late

No political conventions, but maybe, divine interventions
Is the only solution to his Country's plight
He can build his wall and deeper in debt they'll fall
But without a doubt, he'll be battling a non-winning fight

He can talk the talk and maybe, walk the walk
And sign all the executive orders he wants
But how about E.O. 11110, John F. Kennedy signed
Remains today and it, since, every President haunts

In the past fifty years, instead of wasting 14 trillion on wars
That money could have been spent on infrastructure
Medical plans, airports, roads and bullet trains
And that's, not just a matter of conjecture

He will spend his four or maybe, an eight year term
Spending money, backed by nothing tangible
Indebting the Taxpayers even more and enriching the Feds

In an economy artificially strong, but in truth, really very frangible
