Congress Has Left the Building

Another mass shooting, Another protest, A border wall crisis, That rivals the rest. More proof than ever, Of a nuclear threat, A government shutdown, Is a pretty sure bet. Our climate is ruined, Our poor needs fed, Homelessness runs rampant, Our allies need some bread. Wonder what can we do, How can we fix it, I know, let’s take a vacation, And let it all go to spit.

Either let's take a vacation, or 'let's go campaigning.' --- Raising money so they can live off the voter's dole. Disgusting swamp creatures that they are...

Wouldn't it be nice to have a job where you can take a two week vacation every two months.

you've said it perfectly...failed leadership at every turn...very discouraging and frustrating. Americans are more than fed up...I fear a revolution if things don't turn around this year....just sayin'...have a great evening, Sara

Beautifully rhymed poem. A call for action has always been a call from civilians. We wait for an answer.
