Riot (poem)

Poetry

History written,
Heart made heavy.
Loyalists to a despot,
Celebrate with violence.

Armed insurrection,
Coup d’état.
Blow up the Capitol,
Hallowed chambers rendered hollow.

Assault on democracy,
Will of the people.
Violate and desecrate,
Overthrow the sky.

Gunshot rings out,
Lincoln’s theater reminded.
Supremacy of racists,
Assassinate our virtues.
