To a T

 Start by calling him a genius, 
 Say he’s sharp and really wise. 
 Forget old Roosevelt’s warning 
 About taming tigers with lies. 
 Deny your own intelligence, 
 Trust the smile of the snake. 
 Praise the tanks that roll through borders — 
 “Such a smart and brilliant take!” 

 
 It’s the art of negotiation, 
 With flattery and show. 
 Peace through fire and invasion, 
 A “STOP!” in caps — let’s go! 
 If war was just real estate, 
 With bricks and deeds in hand, 
 We’d sell off half of Ukraine 
 And call that “peace on demand.” 

 
 Promise you’ll end the war 
 In twenty-four short hours. 
 Pick a VP who couldn’t care less 
 If freedom sours. 
 Send a broker with no passport, 
 Who thinks Putin’s being sweet — 
 Forgiving lies and missiles, 
 While shaking hands on the street. 

 
 It’s the art of negotiation, 
 With selfies and some flair. 
 Peace turned to a condo deal 
 Without the owners there. 
 No need for Ukrainians — 
 They only complicate. 
 Just carve the map with markers, 
 And redefine the state. 

 
 If the tyrant smiles, 
 You sign and praise his grace. 
 Blame the ones invaded, 
 Then vanish into space. 
 Surrender Crimea, 
 Give Donbas on a plate, 
 And if Putin walks to Warsaw, 
 Say, “He’s just running late.” 

 
 It’s the art of negotiation, 
 With exclamations bold. 
 While cities burn to ashes, 
 You tweet in uppercase gold. 
 If Putin wants Kyiv, 
 Trump just wants a “Yes” to seal. 
 But when you bargain with fire, 
 You turn war into a deal

Nobel Peace Prize for Trump Now

“Don’t Muddy the Water” is a reflective country ballad inspired by a timeless Persian poem by Sohrab Sepehri. It's a gentle plea to protect the purity of life’s quiet moments and the invisible healing that nature offers. With warm acoustic instrumentation and poetic lyrics, the song invites the listener to pause, listen, and let beauty flow without disturbance.
