This poem, Under Siege America, captures both the insurrection of January 6th and the bouncing of the imposter to the presidency DumbOld Trump.

I'm also pretty certain those founding fathers wouldn't agree with treasonous attempts of those driven mad by twisted ideology to overthrow the Democratic foundations of their nation. I hope the instigator is held properly accountable, and that those who believed all the lies come to see them for what they were.

Very well expressed, thanks for sharing.

Very well done. The excellent rhyme scheme and timely material make this a refreshingly contemporary piece. I have seen a lot of political commentary on the site recently as a means of inspiration, and this is one of my favorites. Thank you for sharing!

You are describing the most embarrassing and tragic moment in American history. It was shocking for all; for the sake of his insane ambition one of power put thousands in danger and five lives lost. We'll never live through; it will remain a scar in peoples' minds.

Excellent imagery and visuals; and I love your presentation and artwork.

Thank you for sharing.

    Thank you for your support. Incredibly, some on this very site do not agree and saw nothing wrong with what transpired.

NOM1338:

What happened in the Capitol was absolutely insane. How does
anyone trust in a president so much that they believe he would
ask them to break the law and become insurrectionists - which
I believe he clearly did. I don't believe any of our forefathers would
have stood for this, either.

    You and I are in full agreement. Unfortunately some here on FanStory see nothing wrong in what was done. I pray for those people.

Hello Nomi338,
In the light of Author Note, it's a nice piece of poetry having impressive as well as perfectly matching the theme phraseology, captivating flow throughout from the beginning to the end with lovely rhyming scheme, and beautifully depicting the recently committed CRIME at the Capitol to damage / destroy for what the US is well-known all over the world.
'It is a delight to have someone new, and of course - BETTER!'
MARVELOUS.
[ It deserves to be honored with SIS STARS. ]

There are so many groups of people who are apparently lawless in nature, and usually if there was no familiar thing to join them, they would fight with one another, it's what's in the heart that causes men to reject peace. Beautifully written Bro, blessings Roy

    Thank you my Christian brother. I struggled with posting this as like Jesus, I do not wish to become entangled with politics. I am contemplating never to write another political piece.
reply by royowen on 23-Jan-2021
    I don?t believe Christians should be, Jesus wasn?t.
reply by the author on 23-Jan-2021
    You are absolutely correct, and for that reason, I am considering not writing anything else of a political nature.

You know, I never get involved in political agendas, no matter my personal feelings.
Yet...I look at the way the poem is written and the kind of seriousness, as well... almost a parody, but the seriousness of the moment have touched and hurt many on both sides of the fence, and this delivery has given both a serious, as well a comical side of a terrible thing.

Within your poetry, you always have a down to earth way of getting through with your point or sentiments. This is no exception.

Have a great day my brother , good to see you are well.
Keep safe.
Best wishes.
RG

Hello Nomi.
You've written an excellent poem about the insurrection,
the invasion of the the capitol building,
the blame for which falls squarely on Trump's shoulder.
He's really an unbalanced person, a con man spewing forth lies
that he probably believes.
Well said with excellent art work to match.
Best wishes to you.
Robert

Hello Nomi,
I'm sure our founding fathers would not approve of this insurrection, but it is a different time and place. I feel like I can breathe again, when I watch MSNBC now with my fists tighten and my jaws locked, from every word our top leader would say next. January 6th was simply pathetic to see on television with so much hate. Why? Now, as you stated, they have blood on their hands. But, my understanding, they wanted so much. REALLY! This is a brilliant poem of truth, at least for me. Well written poem as usual!! Keep writing. Stay safe.
