Drummers Drummers of War
Phil Collins diminuendo Barack Obama
Ringo Starr Donald Trump
Lars Ulrich The Clintons
Dave Grohl The Bush’s
Chad Smith John Bolton
Keith Moon Mike Pompeo
John Bonham Netanyahu
Neil Peart crescendo DICK Cheney
And the beat goes on…
(This is a bit of an experimental poetry piece. I had the idea for it and decided to just go with it. I hope others get the concept. I had a hard time choosing who to put on the right lol. Others that came close to making the cut were Rumsfeld and Condoleeza Rice, but I decided to go with Pompeo and Bolton as they are a bit more relevant currently. I knew I had to have Cheney on there though!)
An intriguing concept!

I fully understand and appreciate your concept with this poem. Somewhere . . . the voices of Sonny and Cher replace the beating drum for a moment or two.
