Premium Member What's the capitol of South Dakota

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 Member Gallows 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...

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...

Violence on the United States Capitol January 6, 2021 History has taken a turn without silence. Morality disappeared showing violence.

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,...

Premium Member Visiting Mommur Fairy Capitol
First stop is the castle but we have to slide past without a sound. King Oberon and Queen Titanic may be sleeping on the ground. They love to frolic in the dandelions and wash their bodies in the pond. Follow the tiny pebbled path which is most important to stay on. Now we’re at Mommur Mushroomizers, an enchanted suburb...
