To Stand 2020 On Its Head -- a Common Thread

2020's bizarre happenings in the USA
from Portland to Seattle to our Capital's siege
'systemic racism' trumpeted in the street
'defund the police,' the crowd's angry bleat

riots and looting in so many downtowns
mayors let it happen; they just backed down
at the dawn of the new year, what many did fear
a mob insurrection in D.C., Donald Trump engineered

yet in all of these events, there's one common thread
that if reversed, can stand 2020's nightmare on its head
Allegedly virtuous ends never ever justify criminal means
~ They lead inevitably to consequences dire, unforeseen
