Some say it never happened

or that it was a peaceful

event led by patriots or

that it is right to remove

all charges. If they watched

live coverage of that day,

how can they possibly 

believe all the lies? An 

alternate reality in which 

the villains are now heroes 

and the heroes villains

circulates among those

who refuse to see the truth. 

Brave heroes who dared

to investigate that day

are now maligned by

our next president who

refused to be part of 

our country’s peaceful

transition of power.

We will soon witness the 

dignity with which our 

current president passes

the power to him. May

he use that power wisely

and fairly. A worried

world will be watching

and we must all be vigilant

and peacefully protest

what we think is illegal,

immoral, or inhumane.

Compassion and love will

win over fear and hate.
