ARP: The Beginning of the End (3-11-21)

March 10th marked the beginning of the end
From death and despair, we ascend
The ARP
Aims to end poverty
In the White House we now have a friend
 
Poor can count on their next meal
Unemployed can end their ordeal
It’s not hyperbole
To say of ARP
This is a big f&*cking deal!
 
For poor single moms a life boat
Help to keep farmers afloat
We passed ARP
For all to see
Without a single GOP vote
 
National vaccine program it mounts
Working families are the ones who count
The ARP
Aims for equity
Takes disparities into account
 
Resources to reopen schools
Updates the paid leave rules
The ARP
Most would agree
For the economy is just the right fuel
 
Extends benefits for self-employed
To make ends meet, fills in the void
The ARP
Is the one key
To rebuild what Trump did destroy
 
Keeps rooves over peoples’ heads
Makes sure that the homeless are fed
The ARP
Will forever be
In our history, a watershed
 
Helps people not big corporations
Funds COVID relief across the nation
Gained bipartisan praise 
Outside DC’s haze
Where the pain’s not an abstract formation

Values show in how we act
Their encoded in laws we enact
The American Rescue Plan
By the GOP was panned
That’s just the clear, cold, hard fact
 
Signed into law on this day
Much needed relief’s on the way
From the ARP
I proclaim with glee
A US revival’s underway
