Dark Days Democracy
The art of
politics has yielded
to the
dirty lowdown scourge
of mass
disenfranchisement
The dark
days of democracy
are
knocking down the doors
Voting in
the midst of a rapidly
spreading
virus is hard enough
without
closing down precincts
and
denying vote by mail
Do they
want the disease to spread?
Do they
want us to die?
Have we
arrived at a place
where our
tolerance for others
is so low
we would rather see
our
opposition sick and dying
than to let
their voices be heard?
Dark days
democracy
when a
deadly disease becomes
a
political lightning rod
When
science and medicine
belong to
one political party
When our
president double dares
his
political opponents
to risk
their lives
by
standing in endless lines
on
election day
When did
Republicans
abandon
the republic?
Dark days
democracy indeed
