Capitol Hill Capers

Beautiful, yet so utterly vile!
Congress shut down, hiding, plotting.
The destruction of this country and its President.
Under the glitzy costume of a Virus you came.
Unabashedly shredding the Bill of Rights.
Joyfully, slamming churches and synagogues tight.

You vampires on the Hill~
Destroying the Republic, the lives of its people.
To the great god, Socialism, you plan a building
with a shining gold steeple.
We cannot shake someone's hand?
Yet you unabashedly, tax us cruelly to beat the band!
Some of us not your slaves, not now nor ever will 
be.
While you track our movements and words with
unconstitutional, unlawful glee.

With all the goings on you do wonder if there is a hidden agenda. Tom

Nothing new when it comes to the power struggle. Same as in Shakespeare's writings. Treachery! But humans aren't perfect. I don't expect a band Of angels anywhere on this planet. PRETENDERS...APLENTY. Halos falling off their heads LOL Panagiota xx
