By Any Means

 .

Article link: Obama birth control mandate loosens lawsuits

 .

The Roberts Court will soon decide

Another healthcare suit.

And how will Justice Roberts vote

To settle the dispute?

 .

Perhaps by vote of five to four

The mandate stays intact,

As Roberts and the liberal wing

Maintain their lawless pact.

 .

Perhaps, with firm and august words,

The Chief himself will write,

That morals need not come through faith,

Protected by a right.

 .

For lack of this necessity

The government is free,

To do whatever it will do

By rule or decree.

 .

By any means to reach the end,

Anticipate support

For propping up the Healthcare Act,

From Justice Robert’s Court.

My goal is to produce poetical cartoons. I try to use metaphors and caricatures (or a politician’s own words) to address complex political and social situations. In this way, I sum up current events in humorous verse.
