It's International Democracy Day
as ours slides away.
I am not on the fence
about Charlie Kirk,
a man I didn't know
and now recoil at half-mast flags
flying for him.
I finally grasp
that Freedom's tower has fallen.
Liberty slips,
my heart shatters inside my bone cave.
There will never be
a New Eden.

13 lines--13 stars

prompt: something that will always be out of reach

Dark Goddess Tarot--XVI--Destruction--Kali--Illusions, whether cherished or not, shatter.
