Oh Capital, My Capital

Oh Capital, My Capital
How they beseech thee
Mid planning demonstration
Wanting to present revolution
As a Republican coup solution

Oh Capital, My Capital
They claim Executive Privilege
Over our voting right process
That they are America’s
Right e o us, One Man “I” deity

Oh Capital, My Capital
How it saddens thee so
To see broken shattered windows
Capital Police being plummeted
Congress evacuating to safety

Oh Capital, My Capital
Where are the National Guard
That military that protects US
White House - enough already
As Vice President, pleas cower

Oh Capital, My Capital
Where, oh where, is Our President
Why he is out there - congratulating
Cheer leader whose WH supporters
Run a muck threatening carnage

Oh Capital, My Capital
National Guard are you there
Are you under here, yonder
Whose is in WH charge, of NG wherever
Hello, hello, General will you please respond

Oh Capital, My Capital
We have Homeland Security, CIA,
FBI, NSA, Military, WH Intel data
Yet these supporters seem to have impunity
WH Chief of Staff Meadows, in control.

Oh Capital, My Capital
Executive Privilege be deniability
Nixon did not direct WaterGate
Trump did not correlate CapitalGate
Guess what Nixon fell, will Trump follow

Oh Capital, My Capital
Be patient with American Justice
Dominoes will fall, upon lawyer failures
They always do, over some time
So please Thank God for saving US.
