These Circumstances
These
Circumstances
This land of ours is a land of laws,
But some Justices have supremely taken a pause,
From adhering to the Constitution,
Instead opting for a convolution.
And our legislators just grin and shake their heads,
Having chosen to fill their pockets instead,
No longer representing their constituents,
Disclaiming they have any influence.
All of their responsibilities
They just seem to shuck.
Under the circumstances,
They just pass the buck.
And the insurrectors ensconced in our halls,
Are counting on the cultists in thrall
To criminals and liars they can’t see are grinding down
The freedoms we won from the once heavy crown.
In spite of the oaths they took,
All of us are out of luck.
Under the circumstances,
They just run amok.
Our highest court is subservient to greed,
In spite of a person’s most basic need:
Life, Liberty, and their happiness,
When we will regain these is anyone’s guess.
All of their crooked policies,
Leave us mired in the muck.
Under the circumstances,
I think we’re getting fucked.
