if they would only just do their jobs right?! ... let facts be told .. and decisions made ... the passion has gone ballistic it seems .. to where it is not something to be desired ... cool heads and compromise are trampled under ...win if you have to lie, corrupt, perverse the truth ... caring has flown the coup .. wish that parrot would go to the House......... arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!

Our elected people are paid to protect us... not to heckle us...it is up to us to choose more carefully. "But pray to God that He absolve us all"
per the words of the French poet, Francois Villon
I love your tongue-in-cheek political prescription that doesn't get into fomenting & blaming. We have plenty of that swirling around. What we need is to project a pathway forward . . . upward & outward from the stalemate we've been caught in, and the path you describe sounds better than any of those currently vying for prez *wink! wink!* I find it interesting how you use "Parrot" of all birds . . . with it's negative connotation which parallels how some people feel about politicians. Yes, there are some bad parrots doing some bad parroting, but all in all, who else is willing to stand up & be the targets of our endless fomenting? Can't we accept the parroting aspects of politics while also keeping an eye on outcomes more than the blathering that goes along with the game?!?!? I don't know. Your poem makes a person think . . . and think again! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Thank you Margie for your view from the Mountain Top. truly, Pat
Your parrot is indeed wise. If only we could transport him into the House of Representatives. I pray things are more peaceful in our country soon. The situation currently is so volatile. Good write. Lydi**
Very interesting take on politics. I know nothing of American politics. Maybe your parrot should teach me? lol

Then on Election Day... hopefully, we will vote for the Candidate of our Chiice. truly, Pat
Pat, this demonstrates an incredibly clever imagination... and more. What came to mind after reading this poem twice is the enduring nature of simplemindedness, and how we must appear to other species. Wouldn't it be wonderful to share language with birds, dogs, cats, etc.? I wonder what they'd say after so many hours of Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, and listening to us talk about politics. For now, I suppose we'll just talk aloud in their company and hope they don't think we're part of that hapless, dopey mob in DC. :)

We have sacrificed a lot of lives to fight for freedoms that make a democracy a successful way to govern.
Let us pray that intelligent people will find a way to
vote in order to consider the Constitution and Amendments that are tried and true. If only we could light a Candle, instead of cursing the darkness.
A very difficult Task in front of us. truly, Pat

I spent 25 years in federal law enforcement, including nearly 8 years with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. In short, despite the best efforts of the men and women on the "front lines," we're failing to secure our borders, and our elected "leaders" seem less interested in the rule of law than the next election. I'll join you in your prayer.

Even Trump must have been gobsmacked when voted in. Our politicians are far from ideal over here in the UK, but compared to him, well.

The left wing and the right wing belong to the same scavenging buzzard feeding on the carrion of the taxpayer's pocketbook. It's the oldest and cheapest magician's trick, "Keep your eye focused here while the coin goes up my sleeve." But nobody talks about the nearly thirty trillion dollars that are "missing" from monies entrusted to the care of the American government. Nobody seems to care they have been robbed and hoodwinked and sold out. No, they're too busy arguing among themselves about insignificant grievances while the really fat cats get even fatter and go laughing all the way to the bank.

we elect people to do what is good for us... and they somehow envision themselves as in charge of all our hard-earned Tax money... and they feel powerful and out of control.... they need to realize their responsibility is to make our lives better... and they should be conscientious with our money and respect that we have families that need to live at the same level that they enjoy... and have the same health plan that we have. "the nearly thirty trillion dollars should be accounted for and then some. Our Vote should not even be close to our Country becoming a
Socialistic Country run by the Government. I pray that our young children learn this, because it will be their Country sooner than we think. Thank you for making an effort to educate. truly, Pat
When there is no communication and no compromise, there is no representation on behalf of the American people. In an effort to one up the other side, politicians are in it for the win, the win for their party, not the American people. We all lose, are losing every day because of this. When politicians bend, the American people win.

Has he served a most needed purpose. We the people must be the Judge and Jury. The saddest

I can picture it now, hordes cheering, chanting and shouting, placards bobbing up and down in unison, with the slogan to end all slogans "WISE FOR PREZ."
Well, he wouldnt be the first bird brain to be elected to office 🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦
