I feel like discussing a personal note
Although in the news there’s a lot going on
Demonstrations continue in spite of no vote
On the health-care debacle that’s not dead and gone
In the bill’s iterations one constant remains
Tax cut’s for the wealthy, the bill’s actual goal
Just one place to finance it: cut Medicaid
And that’s the conundrum a huge coverage hole
Be that as it may, my discussion tonight’s
On family and neighbors and friends that we know
Though many, like you, do not lean toward the right
We’ve a few who are way to the right, it is so
These people trust Trump, what he says, where he goes
And all the main channels report just fake news
But really these people are lovely to know
As neighbors and relatives, best I could choose
It’s my own conundrum these seeming extremes
It makes me then wonder just how this could be
To be so attractive yet not in my stream
They, then, must be thinking the same things of me
