2021
Barely a week goes by
And bam there it is
Global news ala Trump
Riot in US Capitol
Chaos and mayhem
Broken windows
Climbing walls
Four dead
Die hard Trumpers
Literally gave their lives
For Trump
In this day and age
Where media travels in an instant
Globally around the world
Voice and video and all
The whole world engaged
In this embarrassing spectacle
A show of true unresolved
Racial tensions and hypocrisy
Not so much the result
Of all who voted for Trump
Who were at least honest
True to their convictions
And certainly not the result
Of all the democrats and others
Who voted against Trump
And tried to prevent such an outcome
But to everyone else
Who could not on their own
By whatever standard they use
Decided to let it happen
Secretly wishing Trump as president
Giddy at the possibility
Unable to show it on the outside
Let alone actually vote for him
Just watching
And watch they did this riot
Perhaps with sense of disappointment
Maybe with some excitement
But more likely feeling proud
For not having voted for Trump
Now that his outcome is sour
But would have been proud anyway
If the riot had succeeded
Which it did not thank God
Again not because of their actions
But passive inaction
