The U.S. Consternation
The People need a Revolution,
to remind the Few that they are at the mercy of the many.
And it is a mercy.
Although the Few will call it ignorance;
suckling the bones of the skeletal idea that the People are the puppets;
baring the gnarled teeth of narcissism, the scarlet letter of self-righteousness.
Dangerously skirting the tyrannical abyss, saying to themselves:
“We are here because the People need us.”
The Few, the Fleas, they fester in the gluttony of greed,
With the impression that the People are a carcass, easily discarded.
Oblivious to the reality that the People are the lions and the People are the lambs.
They understand the goal: Liberty.
They are fearless of the method: martyrdom.
Where the Few cling naively to self-preservation,
Hiding in a fortress and worshipping “success”,
The People hurl passionately into self-supplication,
Bursting into Providence, adoration to Progress.
Of the People, by the People, for the People:
always , in the end.
