Senate Hall

As security officers loiter around,
Hordes of audience troop into the hall,
The intimidating presence of these men
Shackled many as if they were prisoners,
The cartridge of one of them makes me
trifle anxious with fear,
A wizened reporter couldn’t elicit any response 
from the senator as he makes a mordacious 
comment on the scandal ;
which pissed him off, and the crowd grumbled..
