How difficult to embrace such courage ?
How easily to allow Putin to disparage
and criminalize political opposition?
And what is our position?
How hard did we fight to protect such bravery
from an autocrats utter depravity?
We watched Navalny return to Russia
after being poisoned by one who would crush
a man with such courage and dedication
to the spirit of democracy and anti-corruption
in the same manner of Trump’s disruption
of our democratic republic’s election.
Trump would jail his enemies if he could.
“Lock them up”. His rallying cry would
encourage the cowards to pickup their guns,
their MAGA flags and clubs on the run
to the Capitol in open display,
or hidden in darkness as they prey
on election officials, prosecutors, judges, and jurors.
threatening all opposition to his criminal furor.
By all means send your political donations
to the RNC which pledges to destroy our nation.
And put another Putin in place here at home
where the deer and the antelope roam
across a country where freedom once ruled.
Stolen elections by a cowardly fool
is a disgrace to America, land of the free and the brave
overrun by fools giving the OK to rule by the depraved.
Navalny, we stand by your grave with great respect and pray
that we can find the courage you displayed, every single day.
