The Will of Capitol Hill

What looked like Capitol Hill’s worst ill,
Gets reborn as peoples’ voice and will—
Democracy’s pillars
Vying with death-dealers,
Imparting lessons to learn uphill!

Poet’s note: In a bit of shame for USA, the country saw how a sitting president can harm the cause of democracy. Yet, the country should feel proud that its institutions and people manning them prevailed in the end. This limerick is a sequel to the one titled, The Ill of Capitol Hill’.
