Surreal- For Sure

It feels surreal- this year that we have faced.
     The start of a new decade should have been
uplifting with fine goals to have embraced;
     instead, our country's in a free-fall spin.

Our land is so divided in its fight.
     This past election multiplied the rift-
tween half our country's left, versus the right-
     the tensions overwhelm a peaceful drift.

There is no place in our Democracy
     for voter fraud to be dismissed- not fought.
When bribery commands bureaucracy-
     as citizens, our freedom's surely wrought.

The future of each voter right's ideal-
     unless amended, will live on- surreal.
