In the Prism of Time

Through the lens of the future
through the prism of time
how will history judge
the decision, the deal
whether we avoid disaster
the short-term solution
the debt ceiling number
able to rise
what price compromise
in the future debate
the election soon to come
the battles yet to wage
the costs of dealing
of politics over principle
seeking to get something done
appeasing evil
in the name of compromise
in the art of negotiating
another moment in time

Debt Ceiling debate
decision not to include revenues on super rich
