Chapter Two

It shifts from bad to worse
Expectedly, it does 
Suppose it looks quite obvious
For many, counting those
Who claim the empire is to end
Split in a thousand pieces
That’s what the masterminds intend
To do – I don’t believe this
I think what we are witnessing 
Is their Golden Age
And this is just beginning
The Chapter Two, first page
We’re in the new edition
That meets time challenges
We’re actors of non-fiction
A dystopian excess 
We’re stigmatized forever
But we get used to this
Just never you say never
And never comes a bliss.
