What happens to American Democracy?
When your twitter feed is filled with
Bots working as foreign agents
When your television screen touts half-truths and
When your youtube video feed is faked and
You can’t separate fact from fiction
What happens to American Reality?
When lies go viral
And propaganda propagated
At the speed of light
Through ethernet wires
From foreign adversaries
What happens to American Culture?
When the American people
Are deceived
And dissuaded
And misinformed
And manipulated
At the behest of a
Tyrant
What happens to American Diversity?
When hatred is cloned and spread
To millions
Within the blink of an eye
From a computer prompt
A thousand miles away
What happens to American Freedom?
When our politicians are bought
When our thoughts are muted
When our rights are restricted
What happens to the American Dream?
When our freedoms are fettered
And dissolved into the
Desires of a
Dictator
What happens?
America breaks and oozes
Into the fabric of autocrats
Who want to watch American democracy Die
Who want to change our American Reality
Who want to Destroy American Culture
Who want to Divide American Diversity
Who want to suppress American freedom
And destroy the American Dream
Till we are left
Drifting in a foreign land
Unable to live in America
Because it has become something
Unkind
Unfree and
Undemocratic
The despots vision
For a new anti-American America
