Making public servants an enemy
to be destroyed and removed
from the field of battle against
ignorance,
poverty,
disease,
and injustice
is
making
war
against the Republic
itself.
This is not a restructuring.
This is not a reduction of cost.
This is not quality control.
This
is
making
war
against the republic
itself.
We are not facing a possible
Civil War.
We are in one.
We are not on the precipice of losing
the Rule of Law
and thus, our government
of the people
by the people
and for the people.
We, the people
are being usurped
by technocrats and billionaires
protecting their plantations of wealth
built on greed and false grace
and manacled religions
and on the backs
of what was once
a middle class
unionized and organized
and ready to defend
the American Dream.
Now, we hear their screams
on the battlefield.
And those waging war
in a place where
true leaders once stood
make us beg for terms
of surrender
already written by Putin
and other war lords
against democracies.
We are the first to fall for lies
in submissive position
to the beast
within us all.
We are
making war
against our republic,
against
ourselves.
