January Sixth

A year ago today we watched A shocking insurrection As crowds attacked the Capitol To challenge the election. To mark the date, the President This morning gave a speech Reminding all Americans Whose lies propelled that breach. The words he used left little doubt Of who deserves the blame Although he never uttered once His predecessor’s name. The saddest thing to me is that America’s divide Remains as strong today, as hatred Simply won’t subside.
