Congress needs less prideful meandering and a lot more wise spending - a poem.

A reliable voice speaks soundly;
Nerves are constantly being frayed -

A collection of declared efforts
Seeks resolution
Of a morose path
Toward indemnified rapture.
A perilous circuit
Of vocal impudence
Splays the loose designs
Of a latent alleyway
Of pertinent wins -
An egalitarian rhetoric
For the patented demise
Of a party’s granular support…

Insiders struggle with their constituency’s
Lathered squelching.
The pride of the community
Instills a commodious retreat.
Salient wisdom percolates.
And the window widens
To let the air flow in
Through the layered drapes
Which obscure the dream-like,
Meritorious beams of pleasure.

The amplitude of martyrdom;
A magical illusion of smoke and mirrors
Crystallizing in the optimal clarity
Of a judicious manner;

Closing in on additional funds
For the zany, profligate experiment…
A miraculous victory for everyone’s just
And sacred endeavors
Which have met with the approval
Of the plurality or majority
Of knowing, provident,
Witless actors and entrusted saints
Of the local and regional verve;

The states precluding additional affirmations
By each solution-oriented side
Of the magnificent spectrum…

And an open house backs the judgement
Of that united and verbose structure
To further the ends of the bartering process;
Alleviating the marvelous, beneficent creatures
So divine…
