16. Hegseth's Undoing
Fri Nov 28, 2025, 05:03 PM
Nov 2025


Reports from the coast say, in stride,
A strike left two clinging alive.
But whispers then spread
Of a follow-up said—
Just “per news accounts,” not verified.

The papers described quite a shock:
A command that could bend every law on the block.
Though all that’s been told
Is what journalists hold—
Allegations that rightly raise talk.

Drone footage, the story relates,
Showed survivors who clung to their fates.
Then a claim made in print
Cast a serious tint—
Though it’s only what one source narrates.

Off Trinidad’s coastline they say
A mission went sideways that day.
And the Post wrote a line
Of an order defined—
But again, that’s just reporting, not sway.
