Deceita Or What a Circus

DECEITA Oh what a circus, what a show! The United States Senate has gone to town Over the selection of a judge to the Supreme Court They’ve all gone crazy And there’s none who can do it with such self righteousness Falling over themselves to get All the hypocrisy right They couldn’t let it happen It had to be changed Couldn’t have a Judge with constitutional belief That could ruin all their Utopian plans Must arrange his removal Ran around looking for somebody who Would accuse - old answer there all the time Destroyed reputation in view And as for facts and veracity They never invited them in They found a martyr, who’d represent all the suffering of her sex Nulling basics of evidence and truth The end justifying the means Cry now for the Constitution The truth is no longer objective With accusations wild And with no evidence They found him guilty He’s deemed defective Cry now for Lady Justice Assumed innocence holds no longer We have a victim now And he the assailant No need for witnesses Calumny is stronger

Words so true and sad they're painful-- good choice of music-- we could sing 'Don't cry for me, America!)-- God help the young....
