January Sixth

A year ago today we watched

A shocking insurrection

As crowds attacked the Capitol

To challenge the election.

 

To mark the date, the President

This morning gave a speech

Reminding all Americans

Whose lies propelled that breach.

 

The words he used left little doubt

Of who deserves the blame

Although he never uttered once

His predecessor’s name.

 

The saddest thing to me is that

America’s divide

Remains as strong today, as hatred

Simply won’t subside.
