L Milton Hankins Poet Couplet

Good People

I may be pilloried, tarred, and feathered
Let me say how America has weathered
The onslaught of divisive ne’er-do-wells
[Many of whom are now in prison cells],
The good people in this country stand up
Refusing to drink from a fomenting cup
Choosing to stand with those of integrity
Not with a disgruntled, angry minority,
Who would tear down our Democracy
And attempt to replace it with autocracy,
While setting up one pointy-headed fool
To take over our government and rule,
While lying and stealing from good people
Who loathe him, unlike his poor sheeple.
Patriotic Americans stand tall and proud
Avoid fools like this for cryin’ out loud!

Rico Leffanta October 6, 2022 at 12:23 PM Since 1865, when Abe Lincoln said we should, "Bear malice toward none, with charity for all", politicians have doubled their efforts to divide this nation over one cause or another. It illegally acquired the Hawaiian islands in 1893, yet people of different races, religions, and politics continue to live there in harmony, proving peace and prosperity are possible where people respect individuality! Aloha! L Milton Hankins October 6, 2022 at 1:30 PM Ah, that is a lesson I saw and learned while I lived in Hawaii in the sixties!

Caren Krutsinger October 5, 2022 at 11:25 PM My daughter says "terrorists - foreign or domestic" and that is what the rabble rousers of the insurrection were, and we SAW them do it!
