Policy and Politics

There's a dramatic ebb and flow in our system now, And the turbulence leaves the weak in its wake. As the roots between liberal and conservative, Have spread wider across a barren landscape. The growth of weeds has limited the harvest, Choking off the discontent and seeds to survive. While efforts to irrigate and allow growth to prosper, Have been victimized by drought to deprive. This climate has been changing for some time now, With weather slowly reaching new peaks. Yet many of the storms have been realized, And the damages have extended beyond weeks. Although seasons change, at times, without warning, Our nature has a firm preference to predict. Where we critique and draw upon the truth, Applying wisdom before deciding to convict. When it's believed the only constant is change, Where the pace requires bipartisan support. Maybe then, we can confess to the rational, And get back to governing, without those to extort.
