Obvious Culpability

What has happened before our eyes

Hasn't been a big surprise,

But puzzle pieces--bit by bit--

Have come together, and how they fit!

 

Eight broadcast hearings and we

Can see Trump's culpability

When violent thugs decided to storm

The Capitol--so true to form.

 

Trump didn't care that some were armed,

For he wasn't worried that he'd be harmed.

He riled up the mob that winter day

And sent it on its merry way

 

To the Capitol. Yes, even a noose

Was hung there as all hell broke loose.

Trump was watching the violent scene

On his giant TV screen.

 

For OVER THREE HOURS, the big man child

Let the violent mob run wild

While he did nothing--zero, zip--

To call it off. That's leadership?

 

Lives were threatened; lives were lost.

Damage was done; lines were crossed.

People pleaded, and yet it's known

That Trump just tweeted and talked on his phone.

 

In fact, as flames of violence grew higher,

He kept throwing fuel on the fire,

For he continued to incense

The mob, further endangering Pence.

 

And yet Trump seeks absolution

For thumbing his nose at the Constitution?

He should have to pay--amen!--

And NEVER hold an office again.
