Election 2016
there are no heroes anymore,
no one with that dream.
it has become a weapon
that kills when charisma ends.
there are no malcolm x's,
for we have found ourselves.
no johns or roberts to kill,
no kings to praise.
where are the people
in a world that sees no wrong,
in a candidate opening pandora's box,
to win his throne?
