In loving memory of
American democracy.
A 248 year imperfect experiment
demolished in two months
by a supremely damaged man.
This democracy fueled by dreams,
now murdered by greed,
had undeniable flaws
that needed repair to be sure.
However this democracy also
had hope.
Hope now dimmed
at our own hand.
The supremely damaged man
was given the power of destruction
by us--all of us.
Those who despised him stayed silent
with each stab of the knife.
Those who adored him screamed their joy
to the heavens
with each vile illegal, immoral action he took.
Now we are remorseful individuals
for we are no longer a nation.
All of us accomplices
to the murder
of American democracy.
