The Impeachment

The founding fathers in their graves
Are surely not at rest
For what they had intended
Has been brutally repressed.

The country’s been divided
By a madman at the wheel
And all attempts at justice
Somehow crumble and congeal.

At least a call of witnesses
Would help, if just a little,
To let the nation hear some truths
Before the sure acquittal.

With this administration
All decorum has departed
And we, the people, rage inside
Yet still feel broken-hearted.

WELL thought out and composed, but seniors like myself see history repeating itself as Congress surrenders its power to the POTUS, just as the Germans blindly accepted the transfer of power to Hitler. Too bad, so sad that blood must flow so uselessly. Aloha! Rico

Nicely penned. Though on content we may feel free to disagree, no question that there's a lot of polarization... I think it's much, much more the media's doing than the POTUS'. At least it'll be over soon enough... this too will pass... ~ Kurt Vonnegut

The trial may be a sham, but a good remedy for an impeachment that was a sham. It’s all run by G-d. That aside, Obama was dangerous (Iran); Hillary would have been terrible; Biden’s not smart; Sanders is insane. Trump is at least trying to do what’s right. Let’s hope he succeeds.

I'll stick to the basics Mrs Ilene. Your poem is well written and flows beautifully. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I'll spare you mine:)

How can this thing be called a trial when both sides can't call witnesses? It's crazy! Your poem is very well-written and timely. Janice
