The Speaker of the House

The Speaker of the House believes That he will legislate Because he’s been hand-picked by God, The heck with Church and State. In his opinion, Trump should still Be president because The last election was a farce And violated laws. His worldview is the Bible, Saying everyone should read it For those “anti-God enthusiasts,” In his opinion, need it. Same-sex marriage is “unnatural” And anybody gay Lives a lifestyle he calls “dangerous,” “Perversion” on display. And abortion is a “holocaust,” A reference that’s vile, Yet Republicans apparently He’s managed to beguile. How can those in charge impose on all Their personal beliefs Which defy the founding fathers’ “Life and liberty” motifs? I am saddened by the way this country’s Permanently torn And when standing on the sidelines, All that we can do is mourn.

A very spot-on piece, Ilene. I don't think I will ever understand the pathetic turn this country has taken ever since D. T. stole the election from Hillary C. And this new guy??? At least the new Speaker is not Mitch Mc. I couldn't stand looking at his sour puss on TV every day. And why does Joe B. have to be so old?

Sounds like ‘politics USA’ is as messed up as ‘politics UK’. Still, if it gives rise to top notch writes such as this, Ilene, perhaps it’s not all bad…. Hey, I’m an optimist…. Last time I looked that was still legal ;-)
