Theater of Politics

:
Theater of Politics

Republican expulsion, fake grandeur,
Election pageantry, trite charade,
Barely concealed disdain, made clearer,
Partisan election play in grade.

Loud arguments to discard dissent,
With votes often so easily cast,
Forged consensus born in faux consent,
Legislative action and events forecast.

Scripted politics in deliberate acts,
Vending political theater as fact,
Invented stories, based on partisan contracts,
George’s assertion, irreconcilable pact.

Ritualized stagecraft to influence,
Predicting outcomes, moment’s tense,
Dysfunction blends intricate morass,
Political theater, from theater class.

Clientele working together to’ve in play,
Pageantry deepens and fades away,
Representing Republicans in vain,
Theater of Today, for Democrats’ gain.
