I’m updating our National Anthem to honor the valour of those police officers, soldiers and citizens who defended our Capitol, our Congress and our Flag, January 6, 2021.

Star-spangled Capitol, (verse 3 proposed):

Oh say can you see, in the 2021 light

What we so proudly maintained

after a riotous fight.

That broad dome and wide steps

through the perilous fight

O’er the barricades we watched

were so gallantly retained!

As our Congress did dare, with teargas in the air,

giving proof through the fight

that our Congress was still there;

O say does that Capitol Congress remain

with our Presidency,

o’er the land of the free, Democracy!

Listen: Star-Spangled Capitol

Glass half-Full
