Everything
Destroyed
Oh how it does so very much hurt
Yes as we now get our just deserts
We can’t get out of our way damnit
As we ruin our home planet
Consuming carbon bonbons for dessert
There were:
Those that stood by
Those that showed valor
What occurred:
The seditious tried
Those white with pallor
We incurred:
Traitorous lies
Hidden on Parler
Now inferred:
Many with ties
Does Democracy survive or…
Sedition,
an aberrant condition
set forth by a coalition
of ochlocratic politicians
who hide sins of omission
thankfully not in a position
to destroy our tradition.
Going down this road to perdition
there are racists, by their admission
live-streaming on television,
Proud Boys on a seditious mission
attacking our house, felonious commission
breaking through the partitions
with the president’s permission,
using malice aforethought cognition.
Bringing war munitions
for coordinated ignition
sent by radio transmission
to create Our demolition.
There is no act of contrition
that can forestall their abolition
thereby reducing fevered acquisition
of their fascistic opposition.
Time for our own admonition
in order for our new transition
to bring into fruition
a new American rendition
no longer with inhibition
for a loving disposition.
Will Trump then become an apparition?
Will there be any depositions?
This wouldn’t be an imposition
on US to hold an inquisition
making this our Nation’s mission.
To call this a coup – a recognition
not just a juxtaposition?
It’s time for us to reposition
a Democratic exposition
with all of US for composition
This has been my definition
of a terrorist expedition.
Forced now into remission.

You know what? Come to think of it
I’m so very sick of this shit
Which isn’t to say
I’m throwing in the towel
Just on some days
That I want to howl
Here we are Christmastime in 2020
No reason or rhyme virus aplenty
Nation’s pandemic response – anemic at best
Administration’s nonchalance, ischemic, in jest
But what to our wondering eyes did appear
Much to our surprise a vaccine in a year
Scientists use science, that’s using their head
Otherwise known as the scientific method
In record time many went straight to work
To conquer the COVID, a ruinous jerk
But people, Americans, yes our citizens here
On the insistence of our prez, continue to jeer
I won’t wear a mask they say with such aplomb
Childish tantrums, acting so dumb
It’s not your freedoms that rules are averting
It’s not caring for the others, that you are hurting
Together is the only way, we know and confess
To our Gods, to get out of this mess
So in this season of joyous life, lights a twinkle
Be considerate of others, yes, just a sprinkle
Don’t be inhuman, thinking what’s in it for me
Humans being human, that’s humanity
I care for you all, won’t you do the same
Let cross the goal line, in true Jesus’ name
We can win this contest, cheer victoriously
At each of our behest, indeed gloriously
Closing this poem with love and adoration
People, let’s show ‘em, no matter their station
Where do we find the balance?
While we can never forget
We must work through
The trauma that took
So much innocence,
So much loving,
So many lives,
From us.
Read this thread
Understand Their dread
Many have fled
Mourn Their dead
And those who’ve bled
Become unwed
From racism’s spread
Become well read
Hear what They’ve said
Get right your head
Let’s move ahead
Be one who’s spread
Only One Love led
All souls soon fed
