[Vision2020] United We Stand

[Tom Hansen]

United We Stand

by Antoinette Winstead

They charged the hilltop citadel
breached its hallowed oaken doors
marauded its sacred halls, declaring 
victory from its Chamber’s desecrated floor.
 
They proclaimed terra nullius
ignoring the People’s history
planted their rebel flag
all for a despot’s glory.
 
Dumbfound by the chaos
the World watched in disbelief
the destruction of Democracy’s beacon
encouraged by its Commander in Chief. 
 
But the mutineers miscalculated the People
their steadfast resilience and determination 
believed them divided and conquered
instead found them united in conviction. 
 
The insurrectionist lead by a megalomaniac 
soon to meet a Judas’s fate
forever denounced as traitors
purveyors not of freedom but hate.
 
Though battle bruised and bloody
the People rise as one
the World need not fear
Democracy is not done.
