the news seems to matter not
as our newest election closes,
and even though it may have been
too close to call at the beginning
results were a foregone conclusion
and our nation among nations
has decided beyond despair
that we are a nation no longer
of and for the people but one
of complete and total power
censoring voices we hear not
open doors for all others,
leaving no trace of compromise
in the wake of our progress,
even when the people know not
what they want but only that
which is perceived by them as
a right of passage into this land,
whether born here or not it is a
settlement of brothers who have
no desire for themselves to think
ahead of what or who they are
at the moment they still breathe.
