America IV

America IV

250 years in,
Still beginning.
Uncertain as ever,
We grope to understand ourselves.

How did it come to this?

How. after all we've done,
Have we come to embrace chaos?

Yet we have.

We have, now,  - Twice! -
Elected as our leader
A man entirely devoid of Merit, of Honor, of any virtue whatsoever.

Why? Why so?
Future Generations will ask of us.

How is it possible manchild came to rule us?
How can it be,
That a a man none of us whould've wished for a relative
Came to rule us twice,

Embt\racing Madness as he goes' 
How?
