It's All Political
Here they come,
not one by one
but the majority out of reach
doubting reasons to impeach.
It's okay to have a bully president
tweeting nonsense, bias, wordings without precedent,
stroke his ego, praise his fool hearty words
watch the world cuts ties and turns away abhorred.
Think they do not see, they do not hear
follow blindly, claiming all is clear
while the other half appear -
staunch, determined, uncontrite without fear.
Wait on bills, hold decisions in the making
wave the flag, claim they are negotiating
is the economy and jobs enough
when debt increase is uncuffed?
Somewhere ignored in the in-between
a multitude of people remain unheard, unseen
asking for a little courage and honesty
just the facts, the truth in all this hypocrisy.
Yet no one in DC or media really listens
the voice of middle America is stilled and missing
while gun control and healthcare is just winded whistlings
of homelessness, immigration, civil action inattentive dismissing.
They say to let it go, count the votes in 2020
to be concealed by power and money;
who speaks for the average man, woman, and child
neither Senate nor representatives ever walk that mile!
