looking forward

Joe Biden's thinking now, he should have tried,

and casts an eye on 2020's race.

His Beau adjoured him, just before he died

to leave the task half-done was not his place.

The CHANGE Obama'd preached in their campaign--

deferred when Senate votes came to a pinch--

is more than just a slogan, or refrain.
It stokes the faithful, like Loretta Lynch.

Gerontocrats who hold Capital Hill
disdain to give Millennials a voice.
But they're perceived to do their donors' will;
young voters see "Two Parties" as "No Choice".
Republics can't stay green in stagnant mud;
the Tree of Liberty requires fresh blood.

discretion

let Eric Holder give another speech
for honoraria and rapt applause
too slow to prosecute, but quick to preach
he never deigned to execute the Laws.
Loretta Lynch brought passion that he lacked
unhesitating, making judgement calls
she dealt in truth ('though sometimes not in tact)
let no one doubt which of these two has balls.
While Holder played the Hamlet on the stage
too careful to examine every side
unmoved by pity, jealousy, or rage
big donors knew the'd be indemnified.
Big Bankers bought themselves a fancy whore
before he'd passed through their revolving door

Lady Justice

Loretta Lynch enforces Civil Rights
that Eric Holder studied in Law School
a real Attorney General who fights
instead of sermonizing on the rule
of law but never prosecuting crime
'though murderers skate free on acts of hate
the gears of Justice have engaged this time
the feds must fix the failings of the State
no races left to run; Obama's free
to hoist the scales of Justice high and blind
to give no quarter to Blue bigotry
or ingrained prejudice of any kind
to slay such dragons and allay our fears
Loretta's gonna need eight more hard years
