The Lack of Ethics Gorsuch Showed

​The lack of ethics Gorsuch showed
    Accepting of a seat
That had been stolen, down the road
    Seems destined to repeat.

As lo! a party candidate
    Accepts the party vote
Who lies profusely, if not great,
    His oath of minor note.

To be a judge, yet disregard
    The way of law, impartial,
All jurisprudence to discard
    Belligerent and martial;

Who parses his words to mislead,
    Omits, obfuscates, lies,
And lo! what verdicts must succeed
    Such bold hypocrisies?

To see a nation fumble, fall
    Was never my desire,
But Gorsuch and his ilk, et al.
    Have lit the raging fire.
​
So human nature often is
    Though it might better be— 
I sing my witness, much remiss
    The travesty I see.
