MIKE PENCE'S MOMENT, a poem

       Can any but the servile

doubt the heroic decision

by Mike Pence

to choose the constitution

over the worship

of Donald Trump

 

In a unique moment,

to choose democracy

or dictatorship,

Mike Pence

picked America

over Donald Trump

 

The historic decision

of Mike Pence

was made possible

by the gallant police

fighting off murderous

Trumpsters

 

(At the core of this poem

is James Russell Lowell’s

1845 poem THE PRESENT CRISIS:

“Once to every man and nation

comes the moment to decide

in the strife of Truth or Falsehood,

for the good or evil side”

The choice in 1845 was between Abolition and slavery.)
