The Speaker of the House

The Speaker of the House believes

That he will legislate

Because he’s been hand-picked by God,

The hell with Church and State.

 

In his opinion, Trump should still

Be president because

The last election was a farce

And violated laws.

 

His worldview is the Bible,

Saying everyone should read it

For those “anti-God enthusiasts,”

In his opinion, need it.

 

Same-sex marriage is “unnatural”

And anybody gay

Lives a lifestyle he calls “dangerous,”

“Perversion” on display.

 

And abortion is a “holocaust,”

A reference that’s vile,

Yet Republicans apparently

He’s managed to beguile.

 

How can those in charge impose on all

Their personal beliefs

Which defy the founding fathers’

“Life and liberty” motifs?

 

I am saddened by the way this country’s

Permanently torn

And when standing on the sidelines,

All that we can do is mourn.
