Making Merit – 20th May 2025

Remember,
Democracy dies
When blinded
By dollars
To machinations of men
With a big wallet

Promises
Broken with such ease
Both sides hold
Useless hope
No merit to former deeds
That have passed the test

Qualified
A proven record
Words are made
Meaningful
With actions louder than words
Republic ideal

All knowing
Philosopher kings
Guardians
Of kingdoms
No justice with corruption
Merit, not money

A shadorma inspired by many poetic responses to events in the dying empire of the USA.
