Afershocks

The tectonic plates of democracy are violently on the move Social upheaval shaking the foundation stones of freedom and truth Grappling with giants and wrestling with angels finding ourselves on shifting sands Civilization crumbling as an undercurrent of angry discord slowly rumbles across the land Reverberations of tyranny or the aftershocks of change, what choice will democracy demand? Points of contention have now become fault lines in the sand As we gather on the ideological battlefield of man
