An Open Letter to My Senator, Chuck Grassley, On The Event of The Pandemic


I hope you realize what you have done
But I don’t think you do. You write me still
As if I trusted you. But anyone
Who paid any attention to you will
Be well aware you earned my lack of trust.
I wrote you—often—with the futile hope
My word would make you (surely something must)
Recognize the sliding slippery slope
Of your hypocrisy. You used to seem
Honest and principled, if still wrong-headed;
But I have found that honesty a dream
The principles only in use when wedded
To power politics. You had your chance
But voted for these deaths well in advance.
