Committee hearings in Senate and Congress,
Excellent chances for us to make some progress.
It’s Reps and Senators, with Experts, oh my,
Facts and experiences and how they apply.
But what happened next was simply amazing,
Everyone came out with their guns a-blazing.
Experts got hammered with partisan queries,
Name calling, insults, conspiracy theories.
Spewing their talking points when they should inquire,
Their post-game review, “We put them under fire.”
They’re snarky, They’re snippy, decorum is gone.
They’re hoping the talking heads will ask them on.
Time to change the behaviors we reward,
Okay to disagree but don’t sow discord,
We need to weed out these divisive cynics,
The ones perpetuating our uncivil civics.
