January 6th was not an intelligence failure.
There was enough evidence to expect such behaviors.
It was a hold-back by leaders or a deliberate endorsement.
Warnings ignored because the insurgents were supporters of Trump
and his corrupt government.
The feel of fear, anger and the belief of the steal.
They act on perceive.
Fed by lies and conspiracies.
On that fateful Insurrection Day, the foot soldiers got injured and continue to pay.
The trauma doesn’t just go away.
And some of the injuries are a permanent stay.
People were calling their families to say good-bye.
Thinking they were about to die.
Telling where to find their will.
The memories remain with many still.
While Republicans deny.
Showing no respect for those who saved their lives.
Put their lives on the line.
Tried to hold the line as the insurgents did their climb.
Fox News with a deliberate choose to not run an Ad through.
That show pleas from the Capitol police and their families
to Republican lawmakers that they stop the lie.
Acknowledge the pains and cries.
As they felt the force that day.
From the Trumpian-Republican rage.
The Capitol Police and their families, not getting the respect they deserve.
From the same lawmakers the Capitol Police continue to protect and serve.
A deliberate stab to the backs of law enforcement and lawmaker colleagues.
The People’s house made dangerous.
Not even safe for cops.
You may go there to work.
Not guaranteed to make it back home.
Capitol police also died by suicide.
Their families wondering what happened and why they took their lives.
Republicans block, not wanting details.
Resist putting in place for such an incident to not happen again.
They are scrambling like mice.
It’s not a long stretch to surmise.
Why they are denying truth and avoiding investigations.
Can’t help but wonder about implications of their involvement.
That some took part and may have even been at the heart of the plan.
That is where the Republican government stands.
If that day it’s as some Republicans say –
Just a tourist tour, nothing more.
Why were they helping to barricade doors?
A Trump supporter was killed.
No, they say Ashli Babbitt was executed.
It’s patriots that were marching.
And the insurgents were Antifa and BLM in disguise.
If any of that is the case – Why isn’t there outrage and outcry
from the Republican side?
If to them and theirs, injustice was done –
Why are they so eager to shut it all down and move on?
If they and their own are wrongly accused.
They should be motivated to seek truth and get proof.
If their people are being slandered –
Why do the leaders abandon them?
That’s the kind of government Republicans are showing themselves to be.
When their people are in need, they are not there to help or defend.
They are in for their greed, they don’t even pretend.
Their hands remain tied because of their lies.
They keep themselves limited, boxing themselves in.
No longer invested to do the Country’s business.
What is there left to say about the State of the Union?
When government officials side with insurgents.
Vote against law enforcement and the Nation’s best interest.
They have no motivation to make their own workplace safe.
And even with crises happening, they play political games.
How do you handle that – people refusing facts?
The situation in America is dire.
The smallest of lies now fuel the fire.
Multiply the flames.
To spread what already has been so difficult to contain.
At least two thirds of Republican lawmakers propped the Big Lie.
That led to the Capitol riots.
Even after the chaos has been cleared.
The Lie remains and it’s still not safe to be there.
If Republican lawmakers can’t stop their insane for an obvious gain.
To do what it takes to keep law enforcement, colleagues and themselves safe.
America once on the climb is taking a nose dive.
Pro-Life choosing to keep the Big Lie alive.
Showing no respect for people’s lives.
