Fighting and bickering.

Just a normal day.

I wish that the discourse

had more civility.

But she does not hear that,

and he will not listen.

Name calling and eye rolls

all part of the norm.

In a relationship that cannot work within forum.

Jockeying for position and trying to gain

rarely, if ever, does either abstain.

When it reaches the low point

and can’t go any deeper.

That’s when he comes out – the nasty grim reaper.

To harvest the failures and put to bed hope.

Allowing those two fighters to tie their own rope.

To announce all the nasty and bring the demise

of a people that can’t seem to open their eyes.

The hatred, bitterness and clinging to pain,

the envy, betrayal and infidelity.

It’s not marriage I speak of, so please do not stress,

instead I refer to your elected congress.
