Watching
Two years ago today we watched
The Capitol attacked,
In disbelief at all the sense
Our leader surely lacked.
In shock and horror we were glued
To any screen in sight
As protests turned to violence
From those just thrilled to fight.
Today we watch the circus
As the House attempts to vote,
Our government still stymied
By some mulishness of note.
A strong conviction’s often worth
A fight, to some extent,
But once we knew lines not to cross,
Which now some circumvent.
