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.

7.27.20 – 72 Hours
You have 72 hours
To pack up your things
Because diplomacy is dead
Between DC and Beijing.
7.22.20 – Houston Heat
The barrels swelled
As secrets flowed
Into the fires
The consulates stoked.
Chinese officials
Departed with fury.
They were told to leave.
They did so in hurry.
7.8.20 – Hong Kong, Meet China
China opened an office
In a hotel (it was once)
To monitor Hong Kong
(And squash resistance).
6.17.20 – Himalayan Hellscape
High
In the Himalayas
A war tore
Away the lives
Of twenty
Indians
Battered with bats and bamboo
Studded with death.
Modi promises
Revenge
So blood once again
Can be shed.
5.28.20 – Crackdown in Hong Kong
Communism continues to collapse
Onto the autonomous
City-state
Of Hong Kong.
People protesting this persecution
Suffer swift silencing of security.
Rubber stamps
Will further clamp
Democracy in China.
