What happens to democracy when ruined?

Does it go on parade
or decide just to fade

like a tan after summer
into winter's great grasp?

Does it encompass other worlds
like the U.S. Flag unfurled?

Do we make our mark
depsite fighting through the dark?

Does it force beliefs
on those who believe
that which is so unfamiliar
to each of us?

Does it take lives
like souless adulterous wives?

Who's to blame
when our country causes such
shame?

Who is held responsible?
