Quoting the New York Times
Quoting the Washington Post
Quoting themselves
Quoting those who had no facts
This is the new force
Challenging in a sense themselves

There were conflicts
But they were constitutional
They were not an act of abuse
The President is doing his constitutional duty
He also must protect confidentiality
He has been tainted
The House of Representatives has charged him
with Impeachable (in their opinion) Charges

They have had the President Impeached
They ran for weeks, an exclusive inquiry
They would not allow the President to bring
forth witnesses or challenge their witnesses
They were in a hurry

Now they want to do inquiry in the Senate Trial
They want the Senate to play fair,
not how the House played
They want fair play, but forgot that 
when they had the ball
They call down the following of 
legal process protecting the President

They came forth with no evidence of wrong doing
They made up their own rules and twisted
evidence to their own purpose

The elements of truth matter
Truth in the House inquiry was an unknown word
They had planned to impeach this President 
before he was sworn in

The Senate investigated the President
Robert Mueller and his band 
investigated for over two years
There was no there, there

But there was evidence that 
the Democrats had violated laws
This was not reported on the Front Pages
So typical

Washington does not recognize this President
He is not a member of the Swamp
Republicans and Democrats who are, have worked
against his and our interests for three years

He keeps on working for us
He has been amazingly successful
An outsider who cares for our Country

Sometimes funny
Looking back
Flailing parents
Trying to do
The right thing
In the process of
Making their children right
 
They were kids too
When you think about it
No training
Just learning on the job
 
The pear tree
Offered answers
Three foot shoots
Growing out at the ground
Were the right medicine
Go pick a switch
Bring it in
Then we’ll punish you
 
We were wise
Beyond our years
The softest switch
We picked for her
She was smart
Handed it back
Get a tougher one, sir
 
We were not in danger
Fear was on their side
The promise to be good
Saved us and our hide
 
The leather belt would
Give us a scare
Now it’s a blur and
We don’t really care
They are missed now
What could be more fair?

Elements of love
Like drops of water
Come together to
Give life shape
 
Seasonal streams like
Ebb and tide depend
On quantity; quality
Even the moon
 
Light touches
Gentle caresses
Rolling water smoothing
Dormant river stones
 
Passion and candlelight
Thunder and lightning
Energy given
Powerful explosions
 
Energy changing
Or transformed
Never lost
Always returning
 
Reassuring doubters
And romantic challenged
Music and wine
Waterfall roars
 
New mornings
Setting suns
Northern lights
Elements
