Poem : Crisis

~Shirish Lamichhane~Shirish Lamichhane

I turn my TV on
And switch my channel to CNN
All I hear about is “Debt Ceiling”
I look up in my room
And get haunted by a creepy feeling!

August 2 is round the corner
And my phone bill is due!
U.S. is borrowing, so let me borrow
Anyone left that I can count on to??

I look at the downtown skyline
High-rises and flashing lights!
Doesn’t dazzle me no more
Those merely “House of Cards” held tight!!

Will I have my ceiling intact
If other one is not raised high??
Reps or Dems, who’s to blame?
I can do nothing, but sigh!!
