With the election loss, there was a power bridge to cross.
Republicans claim that Trump agreed to do so peacefully.
So no need to impeach.
But those words came after the insurgency.
Since the election, they’ve been denying the Democratic win.
And obstructing the teams of Biden.
Even during this moment of crisis, they continue with hostility.
Making decisions based on what they will gain politically.
Not feeling the need to curb their words or actions.
Making sporadic and weak statements.
No remorse, sometimes defiant.
As they continue with twisting the truth and lying.
Trump’s energy was not to welcome the Biden teams.
He was more bent on obstructing it seems.
And his last chance to feel the ultimate power.
Acting judge and jury in his pardon showers.
His allies receiving money for him to grant pardons.
Regardless of the circumstance and charges.
He said he would drain the swamp.
But in truth, he added to the pour.
Is this what you voted for?
Such were the expectations from the one you so adore?
The one so many tried to give a second term.
Vile, unjust and egotistical, always re-affirmed.
Trump’s last speech about his accomplishments
Erroneous and exaggerated about achievements and competence.
Trump and his allies still projecting
As if the Deep State is after him.
While it’s been him and those on his side.
Sabotaging, misguiding
And aligning with anti-democratic forces.
Instead of accepting their losses.
No responsibility on the part of Trump in this effort to unite.
He was quite contrite to give himself a spotlight.
His farewell speech about his presidency
Made reference to his “movement”.
Not his role as a public servant.
And as the Country was waiting for Biden to be sworn in
Many were questioning if Republicans will cooperate with Biden.
America has allowed the Republican Party to be obstructionists
Not healthy opposition or one for governing.
Yet continued complaints that Washington is broken.
That politicians are crooked.
When the crooked ones keep getting passes to carry on.
And the voters don’t acknowledge their contribution.
Trump never had the decency to concede
Or publicly congratulate Biden on his presidency.
He had no interest to show good sportsmanship
Or initiate to display partnership.
Decisive to not cooperate with the incoming Biden team
Deliberate with attempts made to hand-cuff them it seems.
Even though we’re in the middle of a pandemic
When cases and deaths are on the rise.
When the economy is heading to a disastrous dive.
Yet the Republicans claim
Trump’s “peaceful” transfer of power is on the way.
A peaceful transfer would not require a Capitol lockdown.
Or such layers of security.
The Republicans’ definition of peaceful seems to be
Referencing Trump’s late statement that he will leave quietly.
And Trump not attending the Inauguration of Biden
Sends a message to his base –
He is not with or for Biden’s space.
But they may also perceive that he is being snubbed.
Their leader, excluded from the ex-presidency club.
Meanwhile McConnell has been keeping Trump controlled.
Conviction by impeachment on hold.
While news media are being told –
If it had been a secret ballot
Impeachment would have been more on the side of valid.
Alexei Navalny putting his life on the line for democracy.
Not giving in to Putin.
While America flirts with the idea of a strong-man President.
Not showing appreciation for the American systems.
It’s sobering to learn the ease
At which nefarious leaders succeed.
Understandable how Hitler got through.
Trump erases what for Americans were true.
Now that America has been led along this path.
It’s an arduous track to back-track.
And it has come to this.
Violence in our politics.
More troops in our Nation’s Capital.
Than deployed to Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan.
Fear of attacks in every State.
Yet many Americans say Trump made America great.
If we don’t pick up the pieces that Trump left behind.
Work in unison to eliminate him and his kind
From our politics and our leadership mix
Then, we will remain in pieces.
And America as she was known, ceases.
She will be to reminisce.
Don’t let her go and then say you miss.
