A Bare-Knuckle Fight

Politics has always been rough and tumble
  a bare-knuckle fight in a concrete jungle

Those who preach togetherness and unity
  flail their arms at windmills uselessly

P.S. Awtry Date: 12/13/2021 7:27:00 AM So true! We send the politicians to Washington to fight for us! I think we suffer when they play nice with one another.
