Empire Poem by Saiom Shriver
Empire
Democracy expires
where enters empire.
Freedom burns on
tyrant-built pyres.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
The US has never been
a democracy. It started
out as a white male landowner
oligarchy... even the oligarchy
was trumped by unelected
Supreme Court justices.
Then it became a plutocracy
and is now a rogue empire.
