Frank Sheehan Poet Free verse

The Fall Of America

What has happened
to America?
The once leader
of the free world
the bastion of
freedom and democracy?
Allen Ginsberg predicted
it 60 years ago
I guess it
was inevitable- - - - -
All empires
have their demise
It is a
modern day tragedy
How could we
have sunk so fast?
Things have changed
so much within
the past year
It is a disgrace
what has transpired
