Politics is broken
Something is missing
Politics is polarized
Opinions are divided
Clearly we are at extreme odds
Perhaps Vernon Jordan*
Had his finger on the pulse
Of this confounding
Movement years ago
The panel was distinguished
Vernon Jordan spoke
“In Washington, there is no longer civility”
Elected officials representing opposing camps
Engage in animus and grudges
Without social civility
Without civility
There is no healing
Nor is there compromise
