An End To the Republic

It's coming, don't close your eyes or fall asleep the fall of democracy could happen this very week. Republicans pass bills unread that hurt the average Joe, Jill and Ted while waiting in the wings to forge more still ahead. The rich offer no dissent or voice sacrifice of the poor and aged is an equitable choice. It's coming don't turn away your head but still your tongue the country may end its once great long run. Democrats spoke out, read the bill best they could but internal debate was unheard and misunderstood and questions failed to find an answer or resolve the good. The corporations - lobbyists in retreat proclaim success without defeat as the country goes homeless, hungry beneath their feet. It's coming the change we weren't looking for a wall to separate us from the external world land preserved and now restored to open sores, promises made long ago now broken once again by self centered greedy men. A newer rule has set in that promised change and greatness anew forgot to note, it was only for the chosen few. It's coming as a stormy torrent, the fall of the republic now abhorrent where average men and women are of no importance; rules are changed or completely eliminated and all that's done is understated in the house free people once created. The rules are worded harsh and bold as each freedom is easily sold and in the end, falls the republic of free men.
