Democracy,....
When we cease
To be a democracy
By extension,
We cease to be a dream
Muffled in the seeds
Of division and muddled
In abstention in acumination
------
Only to wimpier without a sound
Which echoes to the name of a place?
Where the “Eagles” doth’ bound
And that is a place called “America”
