When Democracy Almost Died

The faith in our Democracy Was almost lost most shamefully, When losers made their foolish claims And railed against imagined blames. The lap dog trogs obeyed the call To challenge what was clear to all; That voters cast their ballots free And fairly won their victory. The insurrectionists encore Previewed at Charlottesville before: A Hitler brown shirt style reprise - When NAZI scum killed our GIs. From losers formed in tiki crews With fascist, swastika hate views; And losers claiming Rebel ties With racist, traitors' rants and lies; The losers with their vote-fraud claims, All losers in their loser games. Then January 6th took place - Again, December 7th faced, Another Day of Infamy But through homegrown ignominy; Misguided stooges - mob rule horde Defiled what patriots fought for. And now the trials are on display For insurrectionists that day, With facts - in fact - they can't refute - Their place in traitorous pursuit. The Devil's due is their reward: Those without thought who jumped aboard - Those duped by lies and let their names Be mired in everlasting shame. ---------------- Now, vigilance is what we need To make sure evil doesn't seed. The way of life that we embrace Could be replaced Without a Trace.
