I Can’t Believe We Call This a Democracy

I can’t believe we call this a Democracy.

We voted, sure.

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.

    And then breaking again.
