Democracy

Dark and deadened leaves fall far from the tree,

Democracy dies with the fading sun,

Disenfranchised masses forget their plea.

The roots of our being rot to debris,

And the new spring had but scarcely begun,

May 15, 2016 / Poetry

And as clichéd as these muses in love,

The aching sun sighs and lays down it’s light,

And we feast on the fat and swollen dove,

Until all our hope fades into the night.

Arching chords of a music so long lost,
