Betrayal

by author in canva pro

I sit in silence. My pen all but stilled.

Shock, overwhelming sadness, and grief co-mingle. My heart hurts. My head hurts. Tears threaten, rising from the pit of my stomach when the realization hits again.

How could this happen?

A pounding in my head beats to the rhythm of my thoughts…

How? How? How?

Worse than death, it’s betrayal…

They destroyed my love for this country, sacrificing it to their egos.

It seems a fitting end to a democracy built on capitalism…

ruined by the greedy fucking billionaires it created.
