Squatting 1600 Penn

Without legitimate occupancy, Adverse possession is the legal right Of anyone who moves in and maintains A property, so here's the deal. We must Move in to 1600 Penn, The current tenant having broke the lease. The caravan from Guatemala first, Hondurans trudging slowly from the depth. Then the Yemen children not yet murdered, Those with preexisting conditions next, And women whose assaults were ridiculed, Those roughed up by cops and politicians. Losers in the war on drugs, the big house Having far exceeded capacity. The mentally ill, discarded by the Great communicator after he tore The Solar panels off the roof.  This is Anger, not poetic license.  When a Long train of abuses and usurpations Evinces a design to reduce them Under absolute Despotism, it Is their right, it is their duty to throw Off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. Such Has been the patient sufferance of these And such is now the necessity which Constrains them to alter their systems of Government.  And journalists under  fire, If there's room still left in the briefing room, Let facts be submitted to a candid                           World.
