The Situation Poet Free verse

Shut It Down

If it seems like government 
Is out of place
The ideal is to slow it down
to a snail's pace
Instead of getting business done
Slow it down so nothing is won
Take out time to smear a face
Using ethics to bring disgrace
Point the finger, use their race
Dysfunctional being the style of lace
Plan useless monologues
Take up time, cause a fog
Make clear to the participants
This must be
Before they govern
They must be sin free
So far as I know
It must be told
The only thing to pass
Is some type of dress code
We need Republicans to be Democrats
And Democrats to be Republicans
Take the side of God
Or the Constitution
Lobbyist are not the solution
Neither are judges
Seeking prosecutions
We once saw the answer 
Was the Oath
How sad are we now
For great men
Not to quote

Sotto Poet September 30, 2023 at 6:59 AM Fighting for ethical behavior and meditating on current affairs is a genuinely spectacular and meaningful activity, full of bright details.

Victor Buhagiar September 29, 2023 at 10:29 PM Alas I hate politics. I consider Malta, this small island, to list high with corruption. Pity it was such a Christian place before.
