Just Compensation: A Legislative Magnet

Courteous and optimistic, and engendering needed changes - a nice poem about our leaders.

Bold letters, written in a legislative framework.
Constituents authenticating
A U.S. constitution and literacy
In beefy, magnanimous outcries;
Grownups identifying the end
Of the Trump years
With a determined and profligate extraction
Of unlawful trials
And morose litigation.
Houses of leadership
Acting like a Houdini,
Escaping from an underwater
Glass tank
In handcuffs
And shackles;
An emasculated society
Seeking justice from primitive foundations
Such as direction and focus -
Controlling hyenas and straits
Through fox-like wherewithal.
A bushy-eyed sentinel
Scaling the peaks of profundity,
Inhabiting prescient lockers
And gyms
With adulated clemency;
Monikered housewives
Banging the next level
Of authority like air guitars
At a rock festival -
Inhaling tear gas canisters
And hurling ice and obscenities
At arresters of illegal rapists
And pedophiles.
Newly elected officials
Calling for free everything
In a technologically advanced
And innovative,
Preliminary science and scope
Of artificial intelligence
And social media interactions
And learning;
And a rubber ducky
Laying sudsy and undeterred,
As bathers lounge in their private tub
Of bathwater -
An age of ambitious targets
For young and old
To recoil and face head-on,
Fathoming the latest reckonings
And pulse-pounding revelations -
Quelled by political unrest
And foreign manipulations
In seriously deadly
And sometimes sapient,
Articulated, vengeful attacks
On freedom and civility -
Harboring heavy-handed tactics,
Excruciating suppression of women, gays,
And trans,
And appalling, anti-American strategies
Toward world and global domination.
