Fin’ly we come together
To pass a bipart bill—
Aimed squarely at China—
Cast down from Capt’l Hill.
The Senate floor was littered
With amendments, Left and Right.
Next it visits Home.
Then to Sleepy Joe to sign.
Research and development
In technology and more:
The Endless Frontier is endless,
But we must keep pushing forward.
Government
2.26.21 – Blooming
Springing out from legislation
Equalities emerge.
All those made in God’s creation
Now have rights ensured.
Religious freedoms threatened,
Or possibly subdued,
To protect the unprotected
The LGBTQ.
Now the Senate meets to rap and gavel
As Trump emerges from the shadow.
1.8.21 – Rush
Up the stairs and past the guards,
Break the windows,
Now you’re in
The Capitol
That holds the House,
Senate, Dems,
Republicans.
Poach the podium
and Bill of Rights.
But do it quick,
Our lines are thin.
This pointless coup
Is all for you.
Please don’t let
The liberals win.
8.14.20 – Congress is Congone
Without an agreement in hand
The reps leave with their demands
Back to their hometowns and states
Stuck in relief stalemate.
For now we peddle and drown
In a sea of virus and sounds
Of coughing without masks despite
The weeks between now and respite.
7.17.20 – No Flag
No flag but our flag—
The one you salute—
Not the Confederate—
The one you mustn’t salute—
Can fly in our homes—
Where you salute—
From here on out
You must only salute
The American flag,
Every chief or recruit.
7.10.20 – Examining a Financial Disaster
In the shadow of a crippled nation
A small man defends his wealth.
It does not interrupt ovation
Coming only from himself.
6.16.20 – LGBTQCRAONSF
The ever amorphous
Swinging contortion
Of US legislation
Has once again
Championed
The LGBTQ
Q-munity.
6.10.20 – COPS
Bad boys, bad boys,
Where you gonna go?
Not into Seattle’s
Autonomous zone.
WHOOP WHOOP
6.8.20 – Dismantled
As demonstrators
Demand defunding, city
Councils dismantle.
6.2.20 – Up Your Arsenal
The Dear Leader’s pledge
To unleash military
Is fucking stupid.
This Is Just to Say
