Hail! Democracy
02/02/2021
Corruption is now the currency,
of the mind, body and soul.
A somber voice
A mourner declared,
look, my child
there goes democracy,
on the shoulders of extremists,
to be cremated, for certain.
No, no Phoenix
this time, it's ashes to ashes
never to rise again.
I stood solemnly,
watching the funeral procession
The pallbearers, all looked familiar
They were the enablers,
the pacifiers of evil.
There were no tears,
no sadness in their eyes
Entrenched,
moral compass skewed
Self, only self survival,
now paramount
Whether ruling, or in contention,
disruption, the final objective
Yet all the subjects heard
Hail! Democracy
What became evident
They were all Brutus's
I wrote this last year, after noticing absolute corruption of the Republicans. It seems that they are unwilling to mend their ways.
