Two Worlds

The House impeachment hearings show

How the president's cult divides

America, with legislators

Approaching a problem from different sides.

 

One side calls on oversight

Of presidential abuse of power

And also obstruction, both of which

Are STILL occurring at this hour.

 

The other side chooses to

Ignore the gravity of the abuse

And tries instead to distract the public

With arguments, lame and obtuse.

 

They have decided that they'll defend

Their guileful leader at any cost,

No matter how much damage he's done--

No matter how many lines he's crossed.

 

What a shame, America!

History shows us what can result

When people either choose or are forced

To be a part of a leader's cult.
