How Democracy Dies


This is how democracy dies
Not with a bang but a whimper
Like a thief standing at an unlocked door
It doesn’t get much simpler
This is how democracy dies

This is how freedom dies
When somebody else's rights
Are getting taken away
And nobody puts up a fight
This is how freedom dies

We look away when he breaks the law
And pretend not to hear his lies
He brags he could get away with murder
Have you seen that look in his eyes

This is how democracy dies
This is just the way that it looks
You won’t see it on your smartphone screen
Or read it in a history book
But this is how democracy dies

Dan Sullivan Kalamazoo, Michigan

Some people like gardening, working on cars or woodworking. Others enjoy knitting, collecting stamps or coins. That kind of thing. I like writing songs.
