Spectacular Stories
Headlines were about a sex marketeer,
Spiced with possible royal relations,
The media was alive with sensations.
Until the tale changed and it became clear
The Commander in Chief had his eagle eye
On Greenland; cue a sharp change to the script.
How easily sovereignty can be stripped
Away, without a by your leave or why.
But, then on to the next cause, the next plan,
Kidnap an inconvenient head of state.
Yet hardly had he succumbed to his fate
When the world’s focus was moved to Iran.
Not letting news settle on a topic,
Spectacles might make people myopic.
