The party

Of Lincoln

Long

Gone,

Seceding

From itself

Like angry

Dangerous teens

With weapons

And platforms

Slamming

Doors

And stealing

The keys

To the

Car (and worse),

Driving

Just

To 

Drive, 

Enjoying

Owning

Anyone

Else.

Flailing, 

And easily

Stoked

And used,

A confederacy

Of evil

Corruption

Cynically

Separating

Devaluing

Threatening

Menacing

Deconstructing

Then

Reconstructing

With hate

And deception

Regardless

Of consequences

Anymore.

The party

Of Lincoln

Was

Assassinated.

Embracing

Violence

Claiming

Freedom

How free

Are we

In the

21st Century?

The anti

Elites

Fund

A “Billionaire”

Reconstruction

Begat

The KKK

After

The 14th

And

15th

Ammendments

Expanded

Citizenship 

And voting

Rights–

An expanding

Trajectory

Some seek

To contract.

But really 

Now 

It’s 

Power;

Pure,

Sickening

Power

Of Hate.
