Poem
Overboard (commentary on the January 6, 2021 capitol invasion) By Franklin Price 01/17/2021 Many have gone overboard, as we sail the ship of state What Donald Trump did on the sixth, was far from being great I'm not convinced, the reason why, was somewhat justified I'm not convinced the vote was fair, and honesty defied For whatever reason, lower courts denied it all The Supreme Court would not hear it, would not be dancing at the ball Those were the legal avenues that Trump could travel down That's when he should have stopped himself, and gotten out of town His ego would not let him, I'm not sure he wasn't right Should not have gone to the mall, to encourage future fight His speech encouraged protest, Juliani's more defined; Told the crowd, we needed combat, he encouraged riot minds. To understand what happened, we must return to sweet sixteen When Donald was elected, through the Constitution's College scene The Democrats immediately, worked on ways to get him out Was put there by our nation's dregs, was the progressive scream and shout Trump not the establishment, had not paid his beltway dues He was known for the Apprentice and his often slanted views Spoke of We the People and our patriotic way That is not the game, in Washington, that old insiders play They don't care about the people, after all, what could they know? Began talks of impeachment, of that outside so and so Prior to inauguration they had started up the ride For a four year roller coaster, controlled by those who were inside Tried to block, at very turn, everything that Trump proposed After all he was not one of them, and his actions should be hosed Had no backing from the democrats, most Republicans were slim They voted, against the democrats, not to have their voice with him. Trump couldn't stand the opposition, he tweeted more than lots of trash Pointed out that many democrats, were only in it for the cash They didn't care about the people, that was not for Trump to say There was nothing that they would not do to put his ass away Finally, impeaching him, not only once but twice With the second,only ten days left, they had to roll the dice Got him for sedition, for encouraging the crowd, When, for four years, for democrats, sedition was allowed. If you agree with what I've said, don't grab your knife or gun The next election's in two years, that's how this county's run If you don't like what happened, and think we need to rearrange Do it all within the law, vote then to make a change.
