In a Week or So
x
They’re old and white
And waiting for
Each other to die
Republicans and Democrats
Meanwhile, they hold
Power as if they own it,
Forgetting that everything
Is lent,
Stewards of the vine
To whom accounting will be due
Once the owner returns
Maybe in the times
We did not know them
They did some good
Something inclusive
Something that
Cost them for a difference
Where are they now,
Where are their souls?
I do not know
Or have to know
Thank goodness, it’s not up to me
To judge them
Or to you
We have the privilege
To vote them in or out
They have the greater privilege
To serve beyond themselves
To represent our counting
The measure of our mood
And of our will
