Disarray

Head spinning, hands to the brow, eyes searching, nothing is found. No whistleblower in sight, not here, not there, not anywhere! But wait!! There’s a crime that has been committed somewhere! Nervous witnesses with eyes darting, say they have heard NO bribes. Some have never met the accused, some have not been in the timeline! But wait! There has to be bribery out there on the horizon somewhere! All of them testify with opinions because evidence cannot be provided. But wait! The highest crime of the country has been committed! The accused is not allowed to have counsel present to defend himself! The accused is called a fraud, a criminal, instead of innocent until proven guilty! Secret meetings with depositions are held behind closed doors in a bunker room! Manufacturing testimony by ‘one side’ and others are not allowed inside! A long awaited investigative report of information for the other side, not complete. It is looming for the accusers, as they rush from dark, thunderous clouds. Because God forbid, there may be some truth in this report that is brewing! Every day, no due process happens as more heads spin, day after day after day! As if one side holds the other hostage for the country to witness in our dismay! But wait! Aren’t there two sides of this argument, with two sides of the story? Two sides welcome to their own documents, evidence and witnesses to call? No, there isn’t and suddenly, what is happening has never been seen! Gavel slamming, opinions, arguments about tweets, hearsay and name calling! Swirling around like a swarm of nasty bees ready to attack and sting! That’s it! The ‘sting’ will bring impeachment of the president of our country! The problem is, the sting hurts and who suffers from all this crazy disarray? We the people, of a country that was once called the ‘UNITED’ STATES OF AMERICA! That's right the USA! 11/19/19 *Entry for the disarray poetry contest. Sponsor: Nina Parmenter
