The Blame Game

So Sarah Palin endorsed Donald Trump.

Ah, two peas in a pod:

One practically unintelligible;

The other pretending to be God.

 

It's hard to tell if Palin's endorsement

Will help or hurt Trump's campaign.

Neither one admits mistakes;

That would go against the grain.

 

At a campaign stop in Oklahoma,

Palin brought up her son's arrest--

A case of domestic violence involving

Track and his girlfriend, which Palin stressed

 

Was mainly caused by President Obama.

Again, the president receives the blame.

Such accusations are getting so old--

Always obnoxious, always the same.

Track, a vet from the war in Iraq,

Came back changed, and who wouldn’t?

Misplaced blame won’t fix his problem

With alcohol and violence, and it shouldn’t.

 

Track probably served honorably,

And all vets deserve support.

But there could be many reasons

When a person's behavior falls short.

Palin can blame whomever she chooses.

Her passion for blaming is resolute.

But has it ever occurred to her

That maybe Track's just a violent brute?
