This House of Cards is Made of Jokers

Wings across halls of tall buildings,

Wings across long tables the same,

Put your place setting next to those you seek to set precedents,

Whether it’s the president or interns you’ll roast into shame.

Learn which piece you are on the chessboard and which players are playing the game,

Don't be afraid to turn the table,

Use every card in your hand as your own claim to fame,

And don’t forget to shout the loudest,

The one that consumes the most oxygen is least wavering flame!

Brave face to handshake fake sincerity,

Ignorance feigns plurality’s smoking gun reigns,

Held by horses’ asses on high horses…there are no classes!

Marry right and have a kid’s face to parade around, or two,

As a god-loyal family man, what on Earth would they do without you?

You’re finally a spectacle in the big show,

The game show lame show reality show spectacular!

Jeopardy?

What is...the current state of the union?

Should there not be sacred ground for the conquered?

Should there not be solace for those we’ve struck down?

If your enemy’s enemy is your friend on that stand-alone, who’s to say when they’ll turn it around?
