A Dreamy Democracy In Danger

This is not what we were taught in school Fights, mayhems, police arrests and brutalities In the soiled streets. Compatriots, it's never cool To see so much blood and so many fatalities. Competing banners are everywhere. A ticker- Tape parade has gone wrong. Terror and horror Got together for the wrong reasons, at the wrong Place. There are too many obscenities in the song. I am so stunned that I don't want to say too much The images are absolutely nefarious and repugnant This is unbelievable. America does not deserve such A ferocious slap in the face. This is lewd and aberrant. Copyright © October 2020, Hébert Logerie, All rights reserved Hébert Logerie is the author of several collections of poetry.
