The real emergency isn’t at the border,

So target opioids with your executive order.

They account for 68% of overdose deaths!

A lethal epidemic with stunning breadth.

But blaming pharma brass is a whole lot duller

Than vilifying immigrants of a different color.

The far right hates government intervention.

Team Granola thinks it’s a profit intention.

Both just loathe being told what to do,

And their resistance will impact more than a few.

I’m not allowed to say it, it’s poorly regarded…

But eschewing vaccines is just retarded.

Should the rich pay more or less?

How much they pay now is anyone’s guess.

Their loopholes are huge and well understood.

The resulting disparity just isn’t good.

But why more or why less, why not the same?

An equal rate and no deductions would be fair game.

I’m all in favor of women’s rights

And know this issue is worth a fight.

But in this time of exceptional divide

This feels like taking just one more side.

“As a woman and for women” is not the ticket.

“As a woman and for all ” is the way to stick it!

Haven’t done the math so don’t know for sure

Yet seems to me that this ain’t the cure.

It’s a big sum to pay, nothing comes free,

Especially when dealing with A to Z.

But those who killed this landmark deal

Had best have alternatives to unseal.

A popular strand of right wing thinking

Said Obama sucked because of his drinking

The Kool Aid that claimed America is bad

And for his apologies that made so many folks mad.

Hark! Now hear that booming voice so loud,

America is Murderous! Are we meant to be proud?

How has this not received more attention?

A bipartisan success that ensures prevention

Of exploiting one million acres of our land,

Preserving it forever, a very bold stand.

The Senate has passed it with 92 votes.

How ‘bout more of that and less with the moats!

After love is found and love is lost
And you’ve paid a high emotional cost,
And your self-esteem is down in the gutter
And you feel like a boat without its rudder,
Well don’t despair there’s now a solution…
A terrific way to find resolution!

Reasonable people could likely agree

You can have some restrictions and still be free.

Should we be allowed to have our own nukes?

If you said yes to that you’re one of the kooks…

Gun control is no doubt on a spectrum.

Let’s find the right balance without being a rectum.

While it wasn’t a threat to Roe vs Wade

It was an important ruling the Supreme Court made.

The Chief Justice did just what he should

To ensure that change is for everyone’s good.

The speed and manner in which the Court tilted

Needs a steadying hand so no one’s left jilted.
