A republic, if you can keep it

A republic, if you can keep it
No truer responsive wit
Giving power of democracy
To individuals, a constitutional gift
Words, laboriously crafted
Differences unfathomable
Multitudes of thoughts drafted
Before goals became achievable
Common aims took precedence
Appeasement, norm of the day
Marrying unholy alliances
Compromise, the ultimate way
Appeasement, compromise,
Essences to achieving final goals
Not born out of convenience
Necessitating moderate control
In the Now political environment
Extremism infused, herd mentality
Bowing to the presence of Lies
Trampling Truth, devoid of causality
