I applaud the Founding Fathers
For they saw the future clearly
Their foresight was perfection
Well, if not so, very nearly
In establishing three branches
With their balances and checks
They distributed the power
With some practical effects
Though the law could change direction
It would never be abrupt
And though subject to corruption
Never totally corrupt
But the one thing that they missed on
In that famous founding hour
Is that one of those three branches
Would just abrogate their power
I am speaking of the Congress
It’s not subject to debate
Surrendering their check
To the administrative state
It really doesn’t matter
How the legislation passes
When they leave the regulations
To the unelected masses
In that crazy intersection
Where both true and false collide
They bind their wrists together
And then say their hands are tied
And whenever one branch falters
Despite their many talents
They push the other branches
Equally off-balance
We’ve all had cause to witness
The horrors it creates
When Executive gives orders
And the SCOTUS legislates
We might evade disasters
And the horrors of the mob
If each of these three branches
Would just simply do their job.
