Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

What Good Can Come From Today

~ January 6, 2021 ~ 


What good can come
  from the malevolence of today
Our jaws dropped to the floor
  as insurrectionists held sway

Our faith in our institutions shattered
  and, yes, in ourselves too
To handle the transition of power
  like democracies do

Staying angry won't help
  Instead we can learn a couple of lessons
To run 'by the book,' tightly-supervised elections
  ~ and never to let anyone with our capitol be messin'

Rico Leffanta January 7, 2021 at 11:35 AM On 19.XII.20, Trump tweeted to the world that he was plotting overthrow of the government of the United States on 06.I.21; the GOP supported Trump, our military did not (which is not surprising since Trump vetoed their 3% pay increase!). Pence & McConnell failed to display any courage until the insurrection failed! Aloha! Rico Gershon Wolf January 7, 2021 at 3:53 PM Mr. Trump kept his promise. He often does, unlike most politicians. That said, he incited the mob, kind of like what Marc Antony did back in the day with his famous 'Funeral Oration.' Trump's a goner. ! gw

Kim Rodrigues January 6, 2021 at 7:48 PM Since I was holed up at work without even patrons and working hard I was deliriously unaware of the happenings of today until they were over. God watch us and keep us. Gershon Wolf January 7, 2021 at 3:57 PM You're a lucky one. I missed September 11, 2001 myself, as my daughter went into labor with my first grandchild. I was lucky back then... You're lucky this time. Count your blessings! :) gw
