Hymn for a Congressional Republican

by Philip Kitcher

“Republicans in Congress shift to backing Ukraine, matching Trump’s reversal”
New York Times

If you say that it’s needed,
I surely shall agree—
or that it’s superseded,
it’s quite OK with me.

My psyche’s constant feeder
with nourishment and drink:
instruct me please, dear leader,
in what I ought to think.
