I Can’t Believe We Call This a Democracy

I can’t believe we call this a Democracy.

We voted, sure.

But did we really end up with a president?

Or do we now have a king?

Sure, his term is said to end in four years.

But even if it does, the injuries he’s given our country will never heal.

They will scar, maybe even fester.

And I find it likely that, this man we call our president, will find a way to keep ruling.

To stay a king.

A dictator.

So yeah.

I really, really can’t believe we call this a Democracy.

    One King

    When did our country become a monarchy?

    When did it become an autocracy?

    We vote, yes

    But this new ruler

    This new president

    This new king

    He’s broken law after law

    Stripped away peoples rights

    But they are my community.

    They know me, or parts of me.
