The Middle East is burning, Europe is collapsing, China is threatening to make the South China Sea a Chinese lake, Iran is about to incinerate Israel, and Obama smiles benignly, confident his strategy of appeasement will make everything come out all right. Future historians will remember the current Obama administration as adrift, moving slowly, dreamlike, with President Barack Obama a somnambulist, drifting aimlessly through the rooms of the White House while the world collapses around his feet.
The night closed softly, darkness etched
The corners of the room
And slowly covered all it met
With stygian, darkest gloom
And yet not all were still abed
A mist-like figured stirred
And into Oval Office walked
Without a sound or word
Asleep he was, a gentle snore
As to the maps he crept
And watched as paper countries burned
As he so soundly slept
