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.
