Traitors' Insurrection

This wasn’t any lawful, peaceful protest, 
Nor a rational expression of free speech.
It was one nation under siege by misguided, 
Manipulated puppets under 45’s direction.

Every MAGA hat-wearing oath keeper proud boy,
All those angry white thugs in tactical vests,
And every other rat domestic terrorist  
Committed treason, clear at first inspection.

There’s no excusing violence and vandalism.
No patriotic warrant to condone.
To attack the institution of the US Constitution,
It was nothing less than traitors’ insurrection.
