A corrosively tyrannical regime
Symbolized by darkness and blue light
Will always, by the credits, fade from sight
As though oppression were a fever dream.
Republican replacements come and gleam
With marble (different marble) and a white
Something symbolic, signifying right
And justice - sometimes something more like cream
When white seems clinical. It's all to show
That ultimately, good will triumph, and
The instincts to obey and to command,
No matter what the horror, will let go
And liberty will reign. But you should know
Such victories slip quickly from the hand.
