Democracy is Dead

The Great Experiment has failed

Its tenants deftly hypnotized

One nation now divisible

By party lines thinly disguised

The democratic dream has died

Its ruling classes doubling down

One fair republic torn by greed

That stood its omnipotent ground

The patriotic pledge has tanked

It's promise flunking freedom's test

Once an unconquerable land

Now gaga as a cuckoo's nest
