As the Speaker kept admonishing us
To see our selves as perfect,
Able to offer love instead of hate,
I would gratefully drift away,
Proving myself unready
To forgive Dick Cheney.
Losing my sense of outrage
Would deprive me of my humanity.
True, there are those who feel
Rising beyond selfish motives
Is a necessary step
In reaching nirvana.
I am not ready to gain the high ground.
There is a trick involved,
That has escaped my perception.
If I cannot howl, what song would I sing?
