a rock
a hard place
far better
than
a head
on a pike
past remedies
to rid
rodents
sure
the world
in turmoil
in fact
somewhere
always
centuries turmoil
someone suffering
nature
of the beast
of "democracy"
so far
from that
were we
established
way back when
a Republic
was our fate
if we could
keep it
seemingly not
very well
all
is not yet lost
hard work
after
understanding
as if
complacency
equivalent
to alcoholism
one day
you stop drinking
nothing has changed
you are just able
to smell
the shit pile
in which
you sit
time
for a shower
and
a high
colonic
realize
the work ahead
is not easy
hopefully
little bloodshed
mucho
cognitive dissonance
some
nervous breakdowns
legends crumble
faiths rocked
rolled over
as snakes exposed
truths overwhelming
such as it goes
death
is painless
dying
never easy
embrace
the fall
as empires
always do
only
to restructure
rebuild
reignite
the flames
that started
this sovereignty
as all others
too
establish
new freedoms
of old ideas
maybe
just maybe
we get
an extension
of this great
civilization
before
we too
slip
and slide
into the sea
wiped clean
as a new
phantasmic
becomes
once again
