     Old Joe and Jill went up to Capitol Hill
     Stayed four years, longer than they had-oughter 
         Then Old Joe came tumbling down ~
      As she scavenged the carcass for his crown

Premium MemberWhat's the capitol of South Dakota

Made a cuppa coffee this morning
Forgot about it
I think I ate breakfast
Can’t remember what
I combed my hair
Singular
Musta brushed my teeth
They’re back in my mouth
I wear a shirt that reads
“IF FOUND PLEASE RETURN”
Socks that disagree with each other
Shirts that read like a virtual menu
Shoes that tie themselves
The best place to look for my glasses
Is in the

If There Was Just One Thing I Could Change while anointing the brainstorming capitol hill

If there was just one thing I could change
I would request an odd divinity to ferment in an Elixir
Which never intoxicate, nor take the state beyond rationality
No one is an aftermath of coping, coping in understanding , way upstream.
As fallen shadows on a puddle of rainwater have nowhere to move or shift
Only a hazy vibrations

Premium MemberGallows at the Capitol

(This dark poem was written on the anniversary and in memory of the events of January 6, 2021.)

Gallows at the Capitol

By Mark D. Stucky
“Hang Mike Pence”
was the chilling chant
the day democracy died
on a gallows at the Capitol,
when citizens began rejecting
election outcomes they didn’t like,
and, to get their way, turned to
threats, harassment, and violence.
Denials of elections,

The Capitol Attack

Three years ago today we watched
The Capitol attack
And what it made me understand
Is there’s no going back.

For though there always have been lies
In government, I saw
That there are many people who
Think they’re above the law.

And going forward, I’m afraid
That things will get much worse,
For anarchists have now have years
To gather and rehearse.

The lies of January

Toddlers Storm The Capitol 
*
Sitting on the beach
I watch and listen
To the ocean waves
Caress the shore
*
The Beauty of Nature
Keeps me steadfast in my
Fervent Prayer for Redemption

I beseech You 
To touch the
Hearts and Souls
Of the burgeoning leaders
In commerce and government
*
Enlighten them to a world
Where greed will destroy
All we treasure

Let the toddlers of our world
Keeping their legs

Premium MemberTouring Capitol Hill

A muddle of voices
    all crying foul
  Cacophony's in now
    budding diplomats howl

  Scowls on their faces
    deceit in their hearts
  tourists buy scorecards
    to tell them apart

Premium MemberDanger At the Capitol

The democrat’s in quite a fight -
an umbrella could not end plight.
     The needles are fine,
     so rabies won’t shine.
It’s capital when a fox serves a bite.

On April 5th Representative Ami Bera was bitten by a fox
on the way to the Capital for votes.

Who Do We Call Them

Walking
Running
Bringing impending doom.
Who are they?
They claim they're heroes.
But not a single hero was there that day.
Who are they? 
They say they are Patriots.
Peculiar for traitor to say.
They screamed and shouted
Creating such violence
They screamed and shouted
Spewing out venom.
The blue showed up
Not even stopping them.
Nobody seemed to stop them.
Why aren't they stopping them? 
Why? 
Why?
Why?
Because,
They are one

The Air of a Different Century
David J Walker

And to think
I remember days in 1956

Not that they mattered to anyone
As young as me 

Only that the sky was clear and
I breathed the air 
of different century 

where it rained on me 
in the fall

and the snow was pure and
fell on all who braved the 
winter storms

The Will of Capitol Hill

What looked like Capitol Hill’s worst ill,
Gets reborn as peoples’ voice and will—
Democracy’s pillars
Vying with death-dealers,
Imparting lessons to learn uphill!

Violence on the United States Capitol 
January 6, 2021

History has taken a turn without silence. 
Morality disappeared showing violence. 
How do we explain to our children the evidence
That our leader stirred the bad from the bad? 
They all need to be accountable  and  sentenced  
For the consequence.

Proud boys were observed breaking glass
Confirming that Trump has no class 
As seen on TV
Like the GOP
Trump just doesn't give a rat sass!

The Ill of Capitol Hill

If you think what happened was too bad,
Imagine, had he been elected...
Oh four more years of him
On American dream!
Think, world's a small price paid, and be glad.

Chaos At the Capitol

We watched in horror, fury, shock
As everything we knew
Was ravaged right before our eyes
And all was left askew.

Sedition! Insurrection! Coup!
Those words were tossed about
As Trump-incited chaos
Left democracy in doubt.

To see the U.S. Capitol
Invaded, stormed, defiled,
With law enforcement lacking,
Finally got some people riled.

But what did Trump supporters think
Would happen? After all,
He’d stood before his crowds and,
