Political Witness: Visiting Cancún

Political Witness: Visiting Cancún

While Texas implodes

With Its power failing, the water stopped,

And homes iced over inside and out,

Our senator visits Cancún.

Eighty degrees to our negative two,

This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

He wears shorts and an unbuttoned shirt,

Blaming his daughters for the trip as the death toll rises.

Our representative. In Cancún.

Voice of the people.

Champion of cause.

The man elected to do right by us all.

He flees. He flies to Cancún.

The State sits dark at its lowest of points,

Its constituents suffering, the face of them fled,

Leaving leadership to be a voice disconnected.

How can we trust a man who won’t stick with us?

How can we trust the voice in Cancún?
