What Are We Governing? Sadly, it has now come to the point, Where one governor, out of spite, busses immigrants Arriving to his (and it is 'his') state, to a fellow governor's state With no discussion, warning, nor planning together. Political differences of old, have now mutated to plain dislike And this dislike is making us numb with inaction--so far! This inaction is exasperating the ever-increasing and required action To, together, quell the greater crisis of planetary temperature increase, Looming on the horizon of our children's lives, throughout the entire nation. Can we not, please, work together? Frank Maurer 20 February 2024 0800 Hours.
