U.S. GOVERNMENT/POLITICS
Let the Nightmare Begin
A poem
Let the nightmare begin.
The enemy is within.
You chose discrimination and hate
Now this man will shape your fate.
Lapping up money and power
While your lives turn sour.
A leader who only cares
About the wealth of billionaires
We will have an oligarchy
A theocracy
But certainly not a democracy.
A quid pro quo
While his people are dealt blow after blow.
For he only grants favor
For those who cater
To all of his whims
Our future is grim.
What rights will we lose?
Definitely the right to choose.
Surely democracy will prevail
Lest we fight, to no avail.
Other nations are watching
Perhaps even mocking
The poor decisions we made.
Our supposed greatness will fade.
