Revolt – ing

Posted on January 11, 2021 by Maggie C

Don’t turn your head and dab your eyes.

Face square the scene, then raise your cries.

Such treachery we must defy,

prosecute and rectify.

The People’s House they desecrate.

Within its halls they defecate.

Seditious cowards’ acts of hate

true patriots will not tolerate.

dVerse quadrille #119 – Dab

    I don’t think you’ll find many on here who would disagree with these sentiments. How sad that the nation is so divided! Love the rhythm and rhyme of this call to arms, Maggie.😀

    Four bang on couplets. Political poetry is always fascinating, but topical. Many of mine from years ago seem silly and out of tune today

    They must be held accountable. Every one of them.
