Another sunrise, another day
Another group of debts to pay
So much suffering going on
What is this life we've come upon?

Why are we here in this strange place
With so much trouble we must face?
What did we do to enter life
Were we the cause of terrible strife?

Are we being punished here?
Why do we suffer; it's unclear
Did we first then fall from grace
Into this pitiful human race?

Look to the sky; it's blue my friend
See the rainbow's gentle bend
Hear the peaceful babbling brook
There's beauty here, if we but look

The glass here never is half empty
In a world where water's plenty
Watch the sunset; see the dawn
This can be Heaven we've come upon

See the beauty in clouds that rain
A world of wonder where all can gain
This jewel of beauty is not a curse
Be not afraid of the universe!

Feinstein hugged Lindsey Graham
What is this world coming to? Nobody's supposed to give a ****
What's this "love" so overdue?

See Graham was on the other side
Liberals must keep their pride
Sour grapes must be our fruit
When it's over, and hugs are moot

The wisdom of 87 years
Reached out a hand not of her peers
We talk of need to cooperate
For our government to operate

How is bipartisanship supposed to go
If to the other party bares
The outstretched hand that mustn't show
The human side that cares?

She didn't quite fight hard enough
You mean she didn't sound that rough
In confirmation that had to be
Does anger cause someone to see?

Or does it go the other way
Of refuting point to
others say?
Doesn't anger yield the zeal
To toughen those of other deal?

If you then want her head
If on her you want to tread
Then spit into your unwise wind Just know it will come back again

When the sides of power slide
And you'd like foes on your side
And other side does not oblige Remember then your suicide I

Dianne, if they should push you out
Remember how this came about
You showed the world great love that day
In arms of the most righteous way!

Amazing doesn't suffice
To describe the sacrifice
That freedom's fruits can bare
In givers who for lowly care

The ones who pay it forward Time will not forget
For ones who can't afford
To match their tangible gift

These people who are free
And could have their luxury
But give instead to others need
As greater greatness they achieve

This is the icing on freedom's cake
The ones who give when they could take
They are always in our debt
These givers will not forfeit

Yet, there are givers oft' unsung
Even higher on the rung
How did these heroes e'er exist?
By parents - the great philanthropists!
