This used to be,
The cradle of Democracy,
An example, a light,
Against, Tyranny,
...
The Corruption that was Rome,
The melt down of civilization,
We don't need to walk the past,
To be under its stifling Dome.
...
Bad winds are blowing,
Throughout our land,
Excesses, accumulating,
Truly out of hand,
...
Holding on
To Hope's crumbs,
Lately,
I have witnessed
...
Every time she speaks
Insanity leeks,
Her pop eyes, creek
With that crooked look
...
No matter,
How you churn
Or turn it
Political butter,
...
