Just Wait!

Just Wait!
 
Outside my door
Roars an angry beast
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Raging scornful insults
While rattling chains
With links scrawled
Black, Brown, Native,
Immigrant, Muslim, Jew
Woman, poor, homeless
Gay, Lesbian,
Bisexual, Transgender,
Justice advocate
Threatening roars
Pouncing on democratic
Inclinations and freedom thoughts
Darkness creeps upon us
From the other side of the door
The abyss where
Freedom will fall
Thrown into a heap
Of forever nothing
Where democracy will
Become a myth for everyone
Just wait!
You'll see
Just wait!
But then
It'll be too late
