Oath
1 min readOct 4, 2018
“Do you solemnly swear
That you will tell
The truth
The whole truth
And nothing but
The truth?”
Has been shortened to:
“Do you swear by
All of your lies?”
He swears.
He rages.
He attacks.
He claims.
He’s the victim,
Says he.
We simmer
As the hiss of air
Leaves democracy’s tent.
Supreme Court
Renamed
In honor of
Dishonor.
The honorable
Dishonorable.
Of the nine,
One seat stolen
Next seat swollen
Favors guaranteed
Laws bend then break.
Equality at stake.
