Courage and Common Sense

A rock and a hard place between, It seemed a limited choice, But a burning bush he had seen And lo it was he found his voice. And though unpopular indeed With constituents one and all; Courage enough to take the lead And for what's right he'd take the fall. For children dying on the streets, No longer as a hostage held; Party politics with the deadbeats, The lies alas must be dispelled. For rights of others, yours and mine To walk in safety come what may; Never more to tow the line, He's standing up to the NRA. A hero of the people yes, In a filibuster what suspense; This Republican who god bless Has finally shown some common sense.
