A Man in Need

Mitch was instrumental in paving the way for Trump. An inglorious legacy.

A Man in Need

I came to Congress

So young and naive

Wet behind the ears

And ready to believe

I was so full of spirit

And just lost my way

How quickly it faded 

And dark ruled the day

We did good work

For the first few years

And served the people

Then began to disappear

Not sure when it turned

And started to go south

Did not take very long

A bad taste in my mouth

I became a fraud

And also a coward

Full of good intentions

My purpose devoured

I serve now one man

One who demands loyalty

A man who only cares 

To be treated like royalty

I know this is all wrong

My head hung in shame

But I lack a backbone and

Shocked by what I became

I’m in over my head

And search my soul

For the man I once was

Fear has taken its toll

Yes, I live in fear

Not sure where I stand

But makes not a difference

I do what he demands.

I pander and fawn

And never disagree

I do what I’m told

I’m a  perfect lackey 

It’s a conspiracy of cowards

Who embrace lies and deceit

I’m just part of the team

Who grovel at his feet

Voted for Hegseth and Patel

For Pam Bondi, RFK

Kristi Noam and Tulsi Gabbard

No more values to betray

The truth is cast aside

It no longer exists

Afraid to stand up

And unable to resist

When I look in the mirror

Who do I now see

No longer that young man

Someone I don’t wish to be

With two impeachments

I had the perfect shot

To do the right thing

To strike when hot

But I decided to choose

The much easier route

Did not have the courage 

Take a stand and vote him out

My legacy is tarnished

So shame on me

I’m guilty as charged

Courage does not come free

I’m a man in need

Looking for some bliss

But consumed by dread

Didn’t live up to promise

At the end of day

It makes me regard

The West Point Prayer

And hold actions hard

As the Prayer does state

Choose the harder right

Instead of the easier wrong

And fight the good fight
