oh no, it's the end of democracy again

when one political

party

rants and raves

like

childish lunatics,

and screams that it's the end

of the world,

the end of democracy

as we know it,

and then the end

never happens, day after

day.

you stop listening

and roll your eyes.

you laugh and shake your head.

you shut the window,

close door

and turn off the tv.

you burn the newspaper

in the fireplace,

or use it for the hamster

cage floor.
