The Charade

 RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: POEMICS


The Charade

 

It’s clear they just don’t care

What’s right or just or fair

They’ll take the money and run

Aw gee has it been fun?

They stopped democracy just in time

Their charade was most sublime

They had the old man fooled

They used him as their tool

To ensure the party on the other side

Sealed the electorate’s great divide

Say goodbye to the voting rights bill

Let’s forget about Emmett Till

Come November Republicans rise

As the hope of a nation dies

Democracy enters its final days

As the rogue senators have their way

Manchin and Sinema are their names

Senate obstruction is their game

Like a charm it worked so well

Have a party and ring the bell

No longer should we have any doubt

It is time past time to kick them out

Let them wear the mark of traitors

Sayonara see you later

 

[Note: Senators Manchin and Sinema

block Voting Rights by upholding

the filibuster.]
