№ 793: The American Century

HERE AND NOW (February 16) —
Can we accept it's all over?
The American Century’s dead?
That we, the new not so great Britain,
may get disunited in decades ahead?

Can we accept the South won THE war
and, generally, Lee was its hero?
That our unprecedented president’s flaws
show him to be the quintessence of Nero,
that rabid emperor whose total distemper
disrupted first century Rome?
(Without McConnell's friendship with benefits,
Nero (their Donald) was sacked by the Senate.)
