We all have studied LIT-RAT-URE
 Both basic and comparative
 And understand our goal should be
 To recognize the narrative
  
 And if we paid attention
 We gathered, did we not
 The moral of a story
 Is more than just the plot
  
 It seems the same with politics
 The story has a purpose
 But everything that matters
 Exists below the surface
  
 In Portland they would have you think
 Some building is beset
 The courthouse is the target
 And the narrative is met
  
 The anger that’s encouraged by
 The nightly chants and calls
 Is aimed by righteous people
 At some windows and some walls
  
 Within those walls, however
 As the constitution tells
 Are the bastions of our liberty
 And the place where justice dwells
  
 Destruction of this edifice 
 By zealots or their “mothers”
 Is not defense of freedom
 It’s denying it to others
  
 And even if it looks as though
 The siege may soon be ended
 Wherever Law is threatened
 Its home must be defended
  
 Burn down the halls of justice
 To achieve what you pursue
 And there won’t be any justice left
 When power turns on you
