Just a tear
Really no big deal
Just a tear
Something I don’t feel
Just a tear
One nobody sees
Just a tear
Wiped away with ease
Just a tear
Really nothing at all
Just one tear
As the final curtain falls

A tangled web we weave
In fleeting moments of anger
We build what I call
Bridges across time
Endless efforts to secure
The very thing that we endanger
Leaves us breaking away
To keep our frame of mind
Fearing loss of independence
We’re quick to take a stand
Wounding ever fragile egos
One really must be kind
Suddenly it’s later
We’re walking hand in hand
Wandering through the years
Over bridges across time

I want my pound of flesh!
I want the privileged wealthy who subverted our government for their own selfish gain to suffer the rule of law like the rest of us.
I never thought I would want to bear witness to the condemned receiving their demise…the images that conjures in my minds eye are macabre at best…
…but the attempted overthrow of our democracy has left me bitter, angry and hungry for a justice that has been far too long in coming.
