House of Cards

Democracy is fragile as a house of cards with many, many layers

Many, many pieces

Many, many things that could go wrong

The slightest breath, enough to bring the whole thing crumbling

Democracy has survived a poke or prod here and there

We've been able to prop that top layer back up and it has seen another day

But in January

Democracy took a hit from a semi-truck with a baby at the wheel

Actually, democracy, beginning in January has taken and continues to take many hits

From semi-trucks with babies at the wheel

Democracy has thousands of cards

It is going to be difficult to rebuild

It will take time and effort

But I do believe, with strong cards

Supporting each other through their differences

We will rebuild

Stronger than ever
