No Dancing

This is the world now.
A stunned silence.
Lawlessness of lawmakers.
There’s no dancing in the streets
Because there’s nothing to celebrate,
And how can anyone celebrate fear
Except those who spread it, and
Assume their power is immortal,
That their legacies of hate will
Perpetuate through their followers
And families, dynasties of
Destruction. The only hope left is
That hope kills not the hoping
But the oppressors.
