Unlike Martin, I didn’t have a dream last night

I woke from a nightmare
As I slept
Roe v Wade was reversed
An angry mob stormed the U.S. Capitol

But “They” claimed it was a peaceful protest
Windows broken, Offices trashed
Lives taken

It was January 6, 2021
                                             I wasn’t asleep
         I was WOKE!

I watched in horror as the mob pushed its way into the halls of our US Capitol

Tears streamed down my face
I feared for the lives of those trapped
Hiding and barricaded inside
How on earth did this happen in America in 2021?
