Comity ...

 Today’s word is comity ... mutual courtesy; civility. (Dictionary.com)

Broken

If only there were comity,

In the words and phrases,

That politician’s use each day ...

(Their language often dazes.)


The gulf could not be wider,

As back and forth they volley,

Not seeing that their attitudes,

Are filled with human folly.


If wishing made reality,

The poor with joy would cheer,

But we sit and pray and wait,

To chase away our fear.
