Jun 2016

Divided party
Two different directions
Distance grows forward

Leaving behind the
Establishment politics
Its revolution

Values betrayed make
the partisan betrayers
the worst enemies

It's not about her
It never was, then or now
It is about us

Dissent not silenced
Even if censored right here
It's still everywhere

I could go on all day.
