Today

Lies and bluster spin
Round and round, round and round, til
Our minds become numb.

—

We the people weep
As we watch justice, honor,
Slaughtered before us.

—

Tyrants rise buoyed
By the thoughtless, the fearful,
Eyes closed to the truth.

After the vote, I
Am wordless, yet not surprised.
Conspiracy wins.
