[Conservaliberty]

Ooops. Proper format:

“Taxation without Representation!”
Nearly all have heard the phrase
Of much frustrated patriots
In revolutionary days.
“Don’t tread on me!” they cried,
When tax and tariff maimed their trade;
In protest they boycotted tea,
They fought against the British raid.
They were a nation uprising;
Their oppressors’ rule capsizing.

Ah, England, how much kinder was
Your injustice to us then
Than from this fracturing Republic
Turned totalitarian.
At what point in recent history
Would Patrick Henry cry for death,
While modern patriots idly stood,
Clamped their noses, held their breath,
And voted for the lesser of two evils?

“Ooops. Proper format:”

Thought you were going for an unusual, poetic style, something unprecedented for our beloved unprecedented POtuS.

[Perseverando]

Wonderful poem. A lot to think about.

You done convinced me. I reckon I’ll go straight out and help get the greater evil elected instead. Unless you’re proposing I start shooting people.
