Confirmation
Today your behavior is decided
The nation watching is divided
You’ve described your actions as silly
Boyhood pranks leaving us chilly
Your true colors shined brightly through
The thin veneer that is you
We saw you for what you are
A privileged bully hiding behind the bar
We’ve met many like you over the years
Arrogance worn as a right, bringing tears
We do not see you as enigmatic
To us you appear more manic
A privileged man full of anger
So quick to unleash his langor
The available position you will not be denied
You shouted, screamed and even cried
We watched your accuser so strong and credible
Your reaction contrived and unbelievable
The country today pays attention
Your position is in undeniable contention
A decision to come not just for you
But fifty years more of this preview
Women of this country should be scared
A judge deplete of empathy might just be declared
