Chaos at the Capitol

We watched in horror, fury, shock

As everything we knew

Was ravaged right before our eyes

And all was left askew.

 

Sedition! Insurrection! Coup!

Those words were tossed about

As Trump-incited chaos

Left democracy in doubt.

 

To see the U.S. Capitol

Invaded, stormed, defiled,

With law enforcement lacking,

Finally got some people riled.

 

But what did Trump supporters think

Would happen? After all,

He’d stood before his crowds and, oh,

They’d heard his clarion call.

 

Though Congress finished up the count,

The rule of law reclaimed,

I wonder if, at last, some members

Finally felt ashamed.
