TESTIMONY OF HEROES?

Nice of you to stop by for a chat.

Heroes? I think not; although,

you would like us to believe it so.

Your ambition still rules my derision

for the complicit decisions

you made to keep in place

a criminal of such disgrace

he had to be impeached twice.

He is more than simply “not nice.”

And you stayed silent for more than four

years of actions deplored

by anyone with a care for humanity.

Sheer insanity was not his alone.

This is something you, too, own.

What if you had gone to the news

with all the facts you  knew ?

Would there have even been a coup?

The blame is not his alone.

It also falls on non-heroic you.
