Insurrection

INSURRECTION There was absence of nonviolent intent exhorting fierce opposition Fanning the flame of loathing and disunion fueling a grim situation Not one listened to the voice which implored for reason and sanity They heard the gavel evenly struck but nobody heeded the decree Among mobs of the disenchanted the Authoritarian falsely grieved Planted noxious seeds in the souls of those who fervently believed Embodies evil enticing mesmerized ill-informed disciples to imbibe Drank his wine of toxicity and deceit and pledge to fortify the tribe Peaceful transition of power mangled by insurgents altering reality Shards of glass blood on faces and banners of lies unfurled enmity Heroes defended the gate overwhelmed by an invasion of savages In concealed haven lawmakers feared for life if seized as hostages Within a flash heads rush turning rage into madness inciting revolt Pointing fingers at faces who aptly believe the validity of the result Eyes wearing blinders defied not to listen bent in declaring a battle Blemished the foundation of democracy and justice intended for all Those who worship freedom aptly stood up against seditious storm Laid down wreaths and red roses for a warrior masses sadly mourn There is space for reconciliation allowing wound to heal in due time While this page in history fades optimism awaits arrival of sunshine *the incident has passed, yet the effect has been carved in the hearts and minds of those who endeavor peace and prosperity, not war* 01/25/2021 5:09 p.m. Riviera Beach, Florida USA
