Democracy’s Fatal Moment

Whichever way we turn,

Old societies crack and burn.

Violent protests here and there,

Disagreement everywhere.

Molotov cocktails, guns and knives,

Conflict becomes our daily lives.

Logic and reason we don’t care,

Fighting a war we won’t declare.

Out there in the streets,

Online and in our tweets,

In Congress and in the Parliament, 

This is democracy’s fatal moment.
