There is a House

A Short Poem on Representation

There’s a house in the Capitol we fill with members.

Some try to stifle the will of the people.

But do we get stuck in the outrage of the week? No!

We message! We call! And when we vote, we remember!

This poem on the House of Representatives (and, honestly, the Senate too) was inspired by the prompt posed by Lucy Dan 蛋小姐 (she/her/她), for the abbreviation HR. Check it out here:
