We Had It All - a Cynical Look At Trumpeting

We have it all
Indeed we do,
    both me and you.
The scandal crawling beneath the sheets,
     outrageous claims shouted in the streets;
the gropes, the lascivious touches, firm untruthful lies
     and only after much denial, comes the story chastised.
These are, shall we say, past almost forgotten indiscretions
   made by so many legislative ineffective legends
   as much more rises to a level of unanswered questions.
It's a power play, a need of complete control
     how it is obtained is a wonder to behold.
Deflect the truth and place solid blame
     on predecessors who once reigned.
Could we just focus here
     this was suppose to be a turn around year
instead we throw away the progress made, 
    everything for which we already paid.
Months passed with little done
   except for slippage on equality and guns,
no compromise, discussion or lack thereof pains
   into the cold and dark of April rains.
The future held in promises begins to erode and wane.
