Furious females take to the streets, shouting
Staid matrons join them, newly doubting
Angry young males overturn cars, defiant
Older men surrender their values, and riot
Lawyerly senators attack each other, at virtual war
As the issues that really matter, go uncared for
Civility is abandoned, all but forgotten
A nation's lifeblood tainted, utterly rotten
