When the pendulum swings too far one way

The folks behind it will usually pay.

Why do the new guys make the same mistakes?

Going nuts instead of pumping the brakes.

The two party system is meant to provide

Centrist results not a gulf too wide.

Confidence is low for independents

Who don’t believe there’s much attendance

Of quality people in politics

Who’re willing and able to try and fix

The real problems facing the world today

Which aren’t black or white, but are shades of gray.

I don’t have a problem with the outcome

It upheld the law, though still makes me numb.

The issue for me? He wanted trouble…

And his AR-15 made it double.

Why are some people so excited now?

This is behavior we should disavow.

What goes through the minds of prosecutors

More intent to win than finding the shooters.

Destroying the lives of those without guilt

Their own conscience dispersed and lost in silt.

And meanwhile out there someone still laughs

A criminal free due to human gaffes.

As we see “work from home” start to evolve

It raises some questions we’ll need to solve.

Coordination is really the key

Get everyone in, it’s the place to be!

The work from home crowd is still gonna lurk

But maybe it’s time that we “work from work…”

Why does this guy get any air at all,

Especially after his big bad fall?

If he’s a mouth for the right, things are bad

Since the Constitution makes them glad

And here he is, destroying its basics

Like he wants to build a brand new Matrix.

Consumer spending is vital to all

But I have to say, this ain’t a bad call.

The amount of pure stuff we tend to buy

Can really beg the simple question – why?

It’s everyone’s right to buy what they please

But do all those things put your soul at ease?

O man I hated this guy as a Pat!

And don’t forget cheating! The little rat…

But on this I have to admit the same

Self-discipline is how you win the game.

Yes, over and over, repeat what works,

And always say no to the short-term perks.

It seems absence makes the heart grow fonder…

Look at all these folks from over yonder!

They’re always willing to take a few swipes

But deep down they just love those stars and stripes.

The ocean has served as a darn big wall

But the tourists are back now, one and all.

The system is working as it should.

Trump was thrown out because he’s no good.

The Dems then strayed too far to the left

And were spanked at the polls, now bereft.

It’s working the way it was meant to be

In a functioning democracy.
