Subject: Democracy Calls
Another night finds me
In morning's tiny hours
Coffee waiting, waking to see
What has befallen what we thought ours
I watch and wait those tiny hours the next assault to see
On what was once free
Our lives, for instance, target of attacks by would be tyrants
Our lives lived for our kids, our families, our community
We once acted for ourselves and others in a constant effort to balance
Now we must act to protect what is no longer sure , certainly
Freedom has never been without cost
Always a struggle in the open or in the dark watching the wolves,
now he
In whose madness of evil would be boss
In whose narcissism and insanity is only meanness and chaos
Watching no longer enough , waiting democracy
Calls us again to the bastions of truth and liberty
Watching others fight for me ?
No more
We cannot protect what we can't fight for.
