HAIKU EXPOSING CONGRESS
by Uriah J. Fields → (All Poetry by Uriah J. Fields)

Predictably, the 114th Congress
convening in January 2015 will
make the guinness book for being
the most cutting up Congress ever.

Cutting up
          in the Congress
                 is bullshitting
                        at taxpayers' expense
.

Cutting up
        in Congress
                is folly
                     Americans can ill-afford
.

Cutting up
        in Congress

                 lacks decorum
                        and fosters mediocrity.

 Reviews of "HAIKU EXPOSING CONGRESS"
Reviewed by Ronald Hull
Reviewed on November 20, 2014
As I recall from historic records, cutting up in Congress is nothing new. Your poem has a two-edged sword to it. Not only are the new majority fond of making outrageous statements of what they believe (often to the expense of everybody but their buddies), like John Boehner crying crocodile tears when he described how he had to do demeaning work (since when is labor that is necessary, like cleaning, demeaning?) when he was young. But now that he is rich, he can hire wage slaves to do his bidding, or better yet, illegal immigrants while claiming that none should ever cross the borders.

The other is cutting government funding for all the things that all citizens can benefit from equally. Making sure that privatizing fills the pockets of their rich buddies controlling things from behind the scenes. The new Congress will all say, "Let them have charity! We can't afford to carry any slackers (like us) in this country through bloated government.

But I remember what happened to Marie Antoinette when she queried why the poor could not eat cake when they had no bread.
