The Showdown

Congress has numerous duties

With oversight being one.

The president's decided that

Such oversight he will shun.

 

In other words, he chooses to thumb

His nose at our Constitution.

His lackeys in Congress refuse to defy him,

Fearing his nasty retribution.

 

Refusing to cooperate with

The lawful demands of Congress, he

Thinks that he's above the law,

Which justifies an inquiry.

 

Occurring at the moment is

A constitutional crisis, which

The president craftily plans

To pull off without a hitch.

 

Defying subpoenas and trying to silence

Witnesses' testimonies,

He's rejecting checks and balances

With the help of some of his cronies.

 

The president seems to think

That certain people should be exempt

From testifying. But watch as they

All are cited for contempt.

 

Americans deserve to know

What is really happening here.

Trump's obstruction of justice and his

Abuse of power are something to fear.

 

What it boils down to is this:

It's Trump versus the truth. That's it!

If you dig deep, you will find

What motivates the hypocrite.

 

If his record were squeaky clean,

Hearings could be set aside.

However, his suspicious behavior

Keeps us wondering, "What's there to hide?"
