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'
