January 6: First Anniversary
January 6 last year
Wasn't just your average day;
Instead, it was one in which
Dark forces were put into play.
We watched in horror as violent thugs
Stormed the Capitol, leaving behind
A mass of desecration and death,
Reflecting their brutal state of mind.
Capitol police were not
Prepared to handle the riotous crowd--
A crowd eager to show that a peaceful
Transfer of power would not be allowed.
Incited by Trump and even members
Of Congress, the mob chose to defy
The results of a fair, secure election
And promulgated Trump's Big Lie.
Since then, efforts have been made
To gaslight the day's shocking events
By people trying to alter the facts
And siding with the malcontents.
Indictments and investigations
Continue, and the more we learn,
The more weβre aware of things that make
A caring personβs stomach turn.
We MUST insist on the rule of law.
Although the task seems insurmountable,
All who were involved in any
Manner must be held accountable.
Some will celebrate the sixth,
And if they do, shame on them
For seeing the violent insurrection
As something to praise and not to condemn.
If our democracy survives,
May future observers continue to see
The events of January 6
As a blemish on our history.
