Up by the White House's business face
Pennsylvania's closed off well past Madison Place, And almost encircling Lafayette's square They've implanted a border of federal poles there. By the broad, flat expanse of the avenue Policemen are standing with nothing to do But glare at the tourists here hoping to see Some tokens of our nation's majesty. And though all the structures are sturdy and solid, The message projected is shabby and squalid. The symbols of historic bravery here Have been overwhelmed by the symbols of fear.
