Another Moment of Silence In the 115th and 116th Congress

Hypocitical and all for show It's Congress's new way Lacking sincerity and morality They've sold their principles away To do and say the right thing At the moment it is right Is to brave resisting forces And wage the valiant fight There's a time to not be silent To stand up and to be strong There's a time to not be silent When what's done you know is wrong. They swore an oath to speak out But when killer's bullets fly, They have nothing to give us, But empty words when people die. The weak ones and the gutless, An oath "to serve-to lead -be strong" Excludes a Congress now insolvent They're here to simply "go along." Shame on the Congress people trusted They sit silent in their chairs. Instead of taking any action, They simply offered thoughts and prayers. They'd make a world of difference, Instead of thoughts and endless prayer If they'd pass some laws protecting us, Inaction proves they simply do not care. Shame on these spineless representatives Who shirk their duty to "Stand Tall" Instead of silence and condolences They should have stood for "Justice for us all."
