Whack-a-mole

U.S. security in peril
from nations antagonistic!
Those foreigners always found feral
their voices propagandistic!

Thus forced by others in cahoots
U.S. must keep up the whack-a-mole
though even when ‘on the ground boots’
unable to exercise control

Expand embargo targets!
Kill collaterally!
The same old Beltway argots
unilaterally:

“All options are on the table
won’t stand for contradiction!”
such pontificating fable
of titillating fiction

While Elites ought to shiver
as Empire slips, they trip
Out of arrows in quiver
they’re now losing their grip
