Resist
This republic
sits condemned
in its cell
Outside
a gallows
is being built
made from
dark laws &
aborted ballots
Soon
the noose
is placed
around the
national neck
the floor falls
out from
under its feet
Tyranny
On the rope
the corpse twists
Resist

The best poem! Said in a few words and with confidence.
around the/national neck/the floor falls
The brutal truths this poem elevates in so few words is incredible.
You’re really in the zone, Lee. Keep it going!
Boy, you said it there. Makes an old man want to stand up. Where’s my Peace Button.
Yes! Thanks for a sparse but powerful protest poem.
