Edward Ibeh Poet Free verse

How Sad

What a sad 
state of affairs.
As America
turns the page
to Biden presidency,
Washington DC
literally
looks
like a war zone 
caged in;
bracing
for another
withering
assault.
America 
protects herself
not from
foreign adversaries,
but from
her own
children!
I never 
thought 
I'd see 
the day!

Tom Cunningham January 19, 2021 at 8:01 AM What should be a joyful flag waving occasion for the inauguration is turning into what looks like a war zone, hopefully the occasion will pass off peacefully and that the new POTUS will try and bring unity to all Americans. Tom Edward Ibeh January 19, 2021 at 10:03 AM From your lips to God's ears, Tom! Amen...
