So renamed the island Iceland,
WOOLY next say for April he’s taking Easter Island?

Making false surreal claims like his image that is WAXEN.

Greedy men who CLASPed tight the beauty,
In pain destroyed it with cruelty,

Add on DECADes of bribery and lies,

So he sent his POSSE to do stuff extrajudical,

Was it WORTH it for the oil? If so, very a little.
