Unprecedented
About this book
These have not been normal times. The flaws of a nation were accentuated during the coronavirus pandemic. Hidden divisions over racism and abortion wounded civil discourse. Democracy was put at risk. History will not be kind about this era of "making America great again." We will never be the same.These poems are unprecedented, as well as anything the president ever did. They were healthy outlets during the presidential pandemic between 2017-2021. Shamefully, we were entrapped in the literalism of shallow pursuits and the fear of critical thinking about higher values. Poetry can engage us in social transformation and pull us away from status quo thinking into a creative realm of higher values--a place of authenticity, openness, and peace. These unique poems caught the emotions in living through an era of impeachment and resistance. We have survived, learning lessons in going forward.

Information
In the Era of Impeachment
Impeachment requires silence
On pain of imprisonment
As Senators are quarantined
Behind desks in the chamber
A solemn and serious imposition
To listen to the evidence
To determine any breaking of law
Checks and balances were at stake
In reining in a rogue President
Who pushes on every boundary
To create a defiant aberration
That challenges normal procedure
Sergeant of arms introduced
Seven managers to enact the trial
On President Donald John Trump
To wake from stonewalling truth
Of abuse of power and obstruction
Senators were sworn in by signing
Their names in an oath book stating
Articles of impeachment in a rare moment
When all the senators were present
Senators are supposed to listen
Without the use of digital devices
Difficult in an age of hyperactivity
Yet the data was already available
First there was the personal lawyer
Michael Cohen in the first chapter
Then came Ukrainian Lev Parnas
Of the second chapter of transparency
Both scorned for pushing a hoax
But the case propelled solemnly
Under Chief Justice John Roberts
Revealing a trove of documents
Contradicting the Presidentās reality
Questions came up about a fair trial
By denial of documents and witnesses
Trying to break the cover up in the loop
To hear relevant voices hiding the truth
Such as witness Mulvaney commenting
On the hold back of money to Ukraine
Minimizing the withholding of aid,
āI have news for you; get over it!ā
House managers put out the evidence
Such as from Hakeem Jeffries so that
McConnell asked to stack amendments
Necessary for following the timeline
Rep Adam Schiff seemed touched
By his own words during the opening
When he revealed Mulvaneyās boast
That we need to get over it, no big deal
As he conjectured a national decline
Asserting that impeachment was urgent
Ukraine Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch
