It must be so !

Some executive vice-president,
in charge of nothing and no-one,
has officially decreed that
I'm a clear and present danger
to the imaginary kingdom,
wherein he's fought so long
to gain his lofty status.

It must be so !

However else could he rationalize
the price he chose to pay
to attain the right to say
that things must go his way ?

It must be so !

Or else !

It declares in his book of revelations,
his peers and allies all concur,
the rest of the executive directorship
are lined up to show their support
as he's a fine upstanding fellow;
except when he sits down, of course.

It must be so !

And even if it isn't,
they dare not let anyone know.
However could they justify their clout
and positions of esteem that they possess
Whatever would the neighbors think ?
how could one explain it to the spouse ?

It must be so !

Woe to the ones who see right through
the sleight of hand, smoke and mirrors.
Pity those that dare to speak of this
and blow their cover to smithereens

It must be so !

Qr else !
