Poem
Capitol Hill, once serene and still,
Was stormed by those with a violent will.
Hate and anger fueled their fire,
And chaos reigned as they conspired.
They breached the halls of democracy,
With force and fury, causing anarchy.
Disrupting the peaceful transfer of power,
A shameful day in America’s history.
