Two subjects I’ve recently written about
I’ve got more to say that my mind’s working out
Involving the shutdown, involving some views
On FBI’s counterintelligence news
The shutdown’s solution seems further away
It’s pain is out spreading each day after day
The blame game is vacuous; neither side wins
Though people are hurting both sides have dug in
And into this maelstrom of negative news
The Times had reported that Trump’s been accused
Of being an agent of Russia, no less
By FBI counterintelligence men
The fact that our President could be suspected
An enemy agent is unprecedented
And should raise alarm bells all throughout the nation
So far it’s been met not with strong indignation
But scorn for the person who leaked all the data
By Senate Republicans shielding Trump’s status
But even more worrisome throughout this land
No strong demonstrations of where people stand
They are so caught up in the shutdown’s full impact
And numb to Trump’s misdeeds, distortions of true facts
The normalization of Trump’s misbehaviors
Democracy may be in need of a savior
