when anarchists rule



The party of dysfunction's dropped the reins;
A nation's business isn't getting done.
Sedition Caucus thinks it's all a game,
with Gingrich coaching them to have such fun.
Our Founding Fathers feared 'democracy'
meant throwing treasure to the witless mob.
It's plain for anyone with eyes to see
we've seated fools, unfit to do the job.
McCarthy and Scalise don't want the role
of roping factions to a common cause.
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold,
when legislatures violate the laws.
"A house divided" Lincoln warned "can't stand"
Our proud republic's built on such loose sand.

millenialist

Mike Johnson sees a fire he wants to stoke
by slashing revenues that make wheels turn.
As Speaker of the House, this guy's a joke;
he only took the job to watch it burn.
The greenest Speaker since McKinley's day,
knows nothing of how funds are raised, or spent.
So sure the dice must fall big donors' way,
his bogus "offset" wouldn't save a cent.
Christ's kingdom's all he really cares about;
he'd just sojourning in the tawdry life.
His bags are packed, he's jonesing to get out
and "devil take the hindmost"(or his wife).
As sure as Lot that none of it's his fault
as Rapture looms, he'll do without the salt.
