IT IS WHAT IT IS

a third world country

with a war machine

you can’t police

your own country

appears to be

where the nation is

today

an uncivil war

among the states

an insurrection on going

the insurrectionists

in Congress

voting members

intent on oligarchy

a society

confronting

itself

might makes right

has failed

America

why not practice

what you preach

democracy

equality

for all

it is what it is
