A Congressssssional Hearing
“But hiss for hiss return’d with
forked tongue”
-Paradise Lost, X.518
Men in nice suits meet in
air-conditioned luxury
Ties perfectly knotted, Cain’s
mark on their lapels
Enthroned behind paneled
tables of polished oak
Where by the magic of a
secular oath, all are honorables
There is a chair, who is a
man, not a chair
Who wields an oaken gavel
of authority
As he smiles benignly and
modestly
An ‘umble adornment to the
Republic
Then “bash!” goes the
gavel, and yelling begins
And no one seems to know
why
