The Convicted Son (An Ode To Hunter Biden)

The pound of a gavel, a jury of peers,

A guilty verdict, at last so near,

Behold, our Dear Leader’s fallen prodigy

Mired and broken, beside his own legacy.

 

While it took some time, to arrive at this fate

Fret not, though the hour is late

Here lies the tale of a prodigal son’s fame,

Hunter Biden — the champion in this twisted game.

 

Father glooms and advises, to no avail,

Brother sadly deceased, a most tragic tale,

With mother gone, childhood was grim,

It left not a soul to catechize him.

 

Yet behold! A man of virtues untold,

Whose glorious exploits glisten like gold,

A dance with the devil, his trusted friend,

His mind a kaleidoscope, a journey to no end.

 

Cocaine on the table, crack on the floor,

American royalty, unafraid of a knock at the door,

But let us not be too harsh, with a matter so grave,

Rather let’s give this brick of Parmesan a shave.

 

O Laptop! My Laptop! Our fearful trip is done,

Scheming Putin, the Russians have won,

Disinformation — at least that’s what they tell me,

Hard to know for certain with a mem’ry so hazy.

 

Yet amidst foreign lands his business did thrive,

A master of entanglements, no one could deny,

The wonders of trading, on a famous name,

A birthright squandered, yet still he finds no shame.

 

Burisma and Moscow, corruption galore,

A tale for the ages, never a bore,

A bag of cash here, another o’er there,

The life of a prince doesn’t have to be fair.

 

Yet for our hero, it’s family over all,

No fortune too big, no favor too small,

Ten percent for the Big Guy, a small price to pay,

When your next paycheck is but an election away.

 

Oh, how he triumphed, a prince on his throne,

A background of privilege, now tossed, overthrown,

For what use is wealth and comfort sublime,

When one can embrace in the splendor of grime?

 

Amidst the shadows, a thirst for desire,

He sought solace in the arms of hire,

A mistress of trade, her presence discreet,

His addiction to pleasure, a taste bittersweet.

 

But wait, there’s more, a romance of delight,

A love story so scandalous, hidden from sight,

With brother’s widowed wife, a tryst so bold,

A web of tangled passions, a tale to be told.

 

Yet our lustful hero, never satisfied,

The widow’s sister, she too caught his eyes,

Sending text after text, risque and flirty,

A marriage defiled, ever so dirty.

 

Behold the plight of this once-proud name,

Financial woes, a relentless claim,

For what good are riches and prosperous gain,

When debts and burdens are all that remain?

 

In the realm of fatherhood, a child’s plea,

A tiny voice, yearning to be free,

But he turned a blind eye, refused to see,

The bond that he denied, a choice for eternity.

 

Nights at the Waldorf, keys in the Porsche,

Father needs someone to carry his torch,

Yet the life of a Biden, not all games and fun,

The walls closing in, we’ve had a good run.

 

Alas! Our hero approaches his doom,

Authorities discovered a gun in its tomb,

Little lies on a form, is all that it took,

Right at his head, thrown at it — the book.

 

Truth is a challenge, a feat to behold,

So many lies, to remain untold,

Yet our prince will carry on, no need to despair,

Truth’s hard to spot with fake teeth and fake hair.

 

Yet when all’s said and done, but a slap on the wrist,

In what must surely be a media twist,

Our hero escapes, just by a thread,

Why bother when monsters like Trump hide under the bed?

 

Now here he comes, to his own again,

The Feds forgive and play pretend,

On riotous living, on laughter he’ll dine,

But still there remains, no reproach among swine.

 

The return of the son, bowed, head down,

The Second Amendment cannot save him now,

“He’s the best man I know,” father says with pride,

“But will he ever stop being a thorn in the side?”

 

Oh Hunter, the champion of twisted tales,

Your exploits, they dance, as irony prevails,

A cautionary ode to your glorious strife,

A toast to a prodigal son’s broken life.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
