We were on a roller coaster
Exciting and thrilling
The ups and downs jarred to closure
With lessons instilling...
Of shameful attacks,
Shallow scrutiny,
And slips through the cracks,
All hollow and tinny
Still, passion was there
America awoke, bold
Seeing, all aware
We were about to be sold
We came up short, we lost
The slow purchase was subtle
Basic freedom, the cost
We are flat out in trouble
Pondering
The New Yorker
