He is a cracked mirror shattered across the land,
each shard reflecting fear, anger, and decay -
A carnival barker shouting in a thunderstorm,
promising gold while selling fool’s dust
He is the wildfire in a drought,
raging unchecked through fields of reason,
scorching the roots of truth until only ash remains.
A puppeteer pulling strings woven from lies,
dancing atop the graves of democracy’s dreams.
He is the howling wind that tears down bridges,
the smog that chokes the air we breathe,
a black hole swallowing light and hope alike,
leaving a void where compassion once grew.
But we are the ocean — relentless, deep,
waves crashing to reclaim what’s been stolen,
the tide that will wash away his empire of dust,
until only memory remains
of the storm we survived.
