January 6, 2021

They screamed about liberty
They ranted about rights
They yelled about communism
While racing far right.

And then on a Wednesday
The first of the year
They pushed past police
And incited fear

The party of law and order
Of the “All Lives” banter
Showed it wasn’t All Lives
Just their lives,
The white lives that mattered

Broken windows and papers
All over the floor
Bloodied faces and vandals
threatening notes at the door

The hypocrisy is blinding
Glaringly obvious
They don’t give a damn about America
They don’t care about all of us.

Pissed off about loosing a lawful election
Angry that America voted against
Blatant oppression.

They were stopped and forced out.
Although not as fast as they should have been
Had some of them been black
They would have never made it in

Democracy still won that day
The first Wednesday of the year
The wanna be dictator
Will be removed without fear

So fuck em
Fuck racists and sexists and especially fascists
You failed mother fuckers
You will never rule here.
