I was sitting at my desk when I received a text that read, “Why have they stormed and invaded the U.S. Capitol?” My first thought was, who and why? 

Then, news of the U.S. Capitol being sieged by American citizens was all over the internet, and I have to admit, I didn’t have that on my Bingo card.

In a poem titled “Mother to Son,” Harlem Renaissance writer Langston Hughes penned these words:

As I collect my thoughts for this writing, I am reminded of the fable about the wolf and the lamb. Early one morning, a lamb stood drinking on the bank of a stream. That very same morning, a hungry wolf came by, farther up the stream, looking for something to eat. Then his gaze fell upon the lamb. Usually, the wolf snapped up such delicious morsels without thinking much about it, but this lamb looked so very helpless and innocent that the wolf felt he ought to have some kind of an excuse for taking its life.
