Satiric Portrayal of the First Fight in Congress
From jrank.org
deadly sins
stalk the land
stealing shadows
for nest building
inside the hollows
of camera-lit words
uttered under
the capitol dome
speeches borne
upon tongues
brazed with ego
devoid of sworn duty

Sometimes everything has to be enscribed across the heavens so you can find the one line already written inside you. Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that small, bright, and indescribable wedge of freedom in your own heart. David Whyte

Looking ahead, without looking back (too often)
flights of fancy from New Zealand
You're never alone, if you've something to share
All you touch and all you see / is all your life will ever be

‘Devoid of sworn duty’. The difference between those who say and those who do. Theirs a shameful legacy. Therein not all men are equal. Such a sad fact.
