There are more
of us
than there are
of them.
But their
weapons
are automatic,
and autocratic;
and ours,
democratic,
often socratic,
seem
fantastic-
a legacy
now a

But we-
the people
whose
DNA
is democracy-
understand
that immorality
is not merely
cheating
and brutality.
It is a cancer
that metastasizes
as it emphasizes
bigotry
and purely
self interest.
More
is asked
of us
than to
fuss
and bitch
about
this ditch
we’re in.
We’re in
it together.
Whether
you can donate
money,
time,
or influence,
the confluence
will quell
some intransigence.
Pledge
allegiance
to that which
you and I
can do to
defy
and deny
the worst;
but of greater
import,
to support
more
of us:
