He elected to create
The conscious lie of birtherizm
And in so doing
Created a nationwide schism
But who elected him
As an arbiter of aphorism
While showing the world
His unique brand of racism

Now he’s declared
For the world to hear
That the President is American
Or so it would appear
But what his words of acknowledgment
Didn’t make clear
Will an apology be forthcoming
Or not as I fear

Did he finally say it
Or was it an illusion
After all these years
What brought him to
That conclusion
And why was he
So hell-bent
On causing confusion?

To put it succinctly
The man is a fraud
And morally speaking
We know he’s flawed
So nothing he says
Should we find odd
But he can’t escape
 The judgment of God
