There is so little that is understated now.
No more elegant lifting of a single brow.
Excited stammers and caustic frowns
by the faithless Republican clowns
who mimic a man who would wear a crown.
There is no thoughtful, errudite display.
There is only posing false, and evil, play.
Trumped up hearings day-by-day
now hold sway hiding reality away.
He does not lead; but, is just a toy
they use as an effective ploy
to take away power from the many
so they can hold on to every penny
they have gained by writing rules
to benefit themselves and other fools
who overlook their history
and their sworn oaths and holy duty.
What games are played out every day.
While we are left to hope and pray.
And legislation is torn to shreds
that protected us lying in our beds
believing we could face another day,
and see more laws added to hold harm at bay.
They play on fears which they create,
their greed for money and power to satiate.
Vote before it is too late
and democracy is no longer ours to celebrate.
