Poetry Break: Roosters in the Dark

I was thinking about the upcoming healthcare vote and an image of a cockfight popped into my head ... weird ...

Who rules the roost, when the roosters fight?

Who sees the light, on a moonless night?

Who finds their place, when none know the way?

Who lives to fight, another day?

Craven courage

Witless wisdom

In surplus we find these gifts

Especially in Washington

Where partisan rift

Sees lost roosters scrabbling in the dark

Unable to strike
