The braying
autocrat
exposed
democracy
as a
fragile work of art
enjoyed by
connoisseurs
of self
government
Threatened
by the dupes,
the
unappreciative,
the
low-lifes, the racists
following
their leader
toward the
abyss of past tense
or
frightenly, to dominance
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.)
The
dupes, the supremacists, the crazies
heard the wannabe despot’s call
to amass for a
bloody assault
on our sacred Congressional hall
Tear them apart in my name
was the traitorous message
creating a willing mob
with a murderous intent
A thin blue line of brave police
turned the violent, seditious horde
with a hero dying on this shameful day,
the price to save our democratic way
