Under Oath

How can a person who lies under oath

Be given a job or appointment or both

With lifetime prestige and with salary growth?

It’s easier than it may seem.


For Thomas and Kavanaugh, Barrett as well,

The hand on the Bible just didn’t compel 

The truth from their lips, as the lies they did tell

Didn’t stop them from joining the team.


We watched and we listened, our faces aghast

As fictional statements in court were amassed,

Yet everyone knew that the die had been cast 

And each one took the title Supreme.


Now the Court is divided; it’s 6 against 3

And that, for the long run, is how it will be,

A future that’s scary as hell to foresee 

As we inwardly shudder and scream.
