poem of the day January 7

 

Everybody

gather round

to hear these words

most profound 

Today was the day

when they tried to seize

the pillars of our democracy

Where a crazy band

of branded bigot sheep

took to the streets

to fuel the insurrection

the orange man seeks

Aided by a few power 

lusted congressional nuts

who mistakenly describe 

themselves as patriots

knowingly committed treason

for no good reason

except they did not agree

with the workings of democracy
Did not accept they lost the race

wanting the majority's voice replaced 

with a crony fascist autocracy 

instead of the freedom of democracy
There in the hallow hall of founding fathers

the emperor's traitors stormed the people's will

unable to swallow the outcome still

and I am left here wondering today

if American democracy will hold

against more threats of this madman's sword
