"Legacies Of Obama"

(Hero or deceased oil baron?)

How does Obama think he'll be remembered?
What will his most likely legacies be?
Oil spills across the American heartland?
New York City and Florida swallowed up by the sea?

Or will he go out in a blaze of glory
Telling ExxonMobil and Tillerson and their partners in crime?
To invest in renewable energy sources;
That the health of their stockholders will be worth every dime?

Telling Conoco-Phillips to get out of the Arctic?
What makes them think they'd do better than Shell?
Tell the Oil Mafia and big banks financing them
The American public is sick and tired of their smell.

Or will he retire as an oil baron in the Cayman Islands
Where he and Jack Lew needn't answer the phones;
Where an increasingly disillusioned American voter
Can readily find them with some nuclear drones.
