Once there was chaos
All clung to their own
All for survival
Fought back the unknown
Through millennia
They started to see
Grouped all together
Much stronger they’d be
But over ages
“High-borns” stood apart
Ruled over others
Division would start
Time and again they
Sowed their demise
With their lives so
Polluted by lies
Then came the time when
The people stood fast
Built democracy
A world meant to last
True, not quite perfect
But most could endure
They strived toward freedom
Liberty so pure
Now this is threatened
Hanging in balance
Where are our morals?
Resurrect valiance
Time has come to stand
Where we all must fight
Preserve our freedom
To do what is right
Author's Note:
He promised greatness. He meant control.
He said we wouldn’t need elections. What he meant was, he wouldn’t.
This isn’t about the myth of democracy.
It’s about the moment we choose whether to keep it.

These pieces are sharp, unflinching, and unwilling to go quietly — calling out injustice, dismantling false narratives, and naming the rot in systems that would rather we stay silent.

– Buy me a coffee – a small boost for the human behind the words.
– Feed the kitties – cover a day’s meals for the colony of feral and free-roamers I care for, and you’ll get my Whiskers in the Dark mini-zine as a thank-you.
