Every voice of reason
Screamed Yes
Do it
Excise it
The malignant ones
Steeped in hubris and narcissism
To the bone
Breaking bad beyond repair
Like toxic air
From a saxophone
Blowin off-key
Down Bourbon Street
The coup de grace
Of Mardi Gras
And freedom
Onward
Christian Nationalists
Onward
Putin sympathizers
Who despised Hugo and Fidel
Sieg Heil
Hypocrisy and homophobia
Sieg Heil
Misogyny and xenophobia
The tumor grew
As cancers do
Ignored
The day
Democracy died
