Electionless

Over electionless decades, America’s crematoria
In the new labour camps became one of its
Biggest growth industries, the country isolated
From a world that would not play its racist games,
Transatlantic flights a thing of the past, boat
Crossings, too, and exports and imports, as the
Last of those who thought the rapid shift from
Democracy to tyranny of the First Administration
Was a fever dream had fled when the hunt for
The Other started, based on the tone of their
Skin and voice, and no dissent was tolerated.
Russia was held back by a finally united Europe
At a fearful cost, and the sky grew dark with
The smoke of primitive technologies because
There was no option to begin with, and the
World fragmented into the free and the unfree.
