Artistically Designed

A Villanelle with imagery

Not a concrete wall, but steel slats

Last time I checked, that describes a fence

Forever a criminal, a lying plutocrat

A toddler who cries wolf, a spoiled little brat

Constantly changing your tune, you have no common sense

Not a concrete wall, but steel slats

You should have asked for a tête-à-tête, but wanted a public spat

Making your VP immobilized, poor defenseless Pence

Forever a criminal, a lying plutocrat

Trying to rule like a dictator, pilfering from others like a wharf rat

Your visage is becoming transparent, when criticized you become incensed

Not a concrete wall, but steel slats

For every move you make, Mueller is several steps ahead, there’s no tit for tat

The indictments are in place, jurisprudence shall commence

Forever a criminal, a lying plutocrat

Artistically designed, certainly something to look at

A family of grifters, running a long con at any expense

Not a concrete wall, but steel slats

Forever a criminal, a lying plutocrat
