July 6: Six-month Anniversary

It was only six months ago

That we had an insurrection

Because a former president

Refused to believe he lost an election.

 

Inciting a large part of his base,

He kept repeating his dangerous lie,

Casting doubts on election results

That Congress was going to certify.

 

Many people want to pretend

That nothing serious happened that day.

They THINK that by ignoring it,

The whole nightmare will go away.

 

Gaslighting the public by making

People believe what isn't true

Further emboldens extremist groups

That Trump has given oxygen to.

 

Many members of Congress want

To get to the bottom of what occurred.

And yet the deniers are trying to squelch

The investigations, from what we've heard.

 

We need to know the facts: the whats

The whys, the whos, the hows and the wheres.

Let's get to the bottom of this

Horrifying state of affairs.

 

Over 500 people have been

Arrested for the part that they played

That day in storming the Capitol Building

And carrying out their disgusting crusade.

 

Whatever you do, do not call them

Patriots or tourists! NO!

The word "insurrectionists"

Is really much more apropos.

 

The more the truth is revealed, the more

We will understand, and then

We can hope that such an attack

Never ever happens again.
