INSURRECTION!                               January 12,2021

(January 6, 2021)

(Lyrics)

That insurrection

Was not a resurrection

For it took five lives away,

We’re a land of laws

Not window-climbing claws

Led by, a tyrant’s dismay.

One stupid led “the stupids”

With

Unfound conspiracies and lies

Brazing malignant hopes

Dead flags and ropes

And constitutional spies!!

He “flew the coup”

Before “Lady Liberty” could scoop

And push the truth down his foaming mouth,

He thinks he’s wanted

But his future is very haunted

In the bayous of the deep, deep south.

Now, the lesson to be learned

Is our concern

That America don’t quit, but quotes:

          “We’re a poor man’s land

          Seeking chances to advance

          And our powers are in, our votes.”
