Five Years Ago

Five years ago today, we watched,

In horror, on TV,

As insurrectionists attacked

Our once-democracy.

 

We couldn’t really comprehend

The havoc we were seeing,

As worldwide outrage hit the waves,

Most normal folk agreeing.

 

The government held hostage,

While the president stood by

For many drawn-out hours,

Which was covered with a lie.

 

And all those brought to justice

Sadly pardoned and released,

Our Constitution, once revered,

Now tattered, stained and creased.

 

I thought we’d seen the worst of things,

But that was just the start

For we couldn’t know just how our country

Would be torn apart.
