On Being and Becoming a Repressive Minority (a poem)

When the former majority became an oppressive minority
concentrating wealth, buying broadcast media
flooding a nation with external proletariats
subverting the former majority further
democracy became a sham

 When the winds of the globe
reverse times a quarter billion years
hot oxygen depleted red tides
lap shores with cardinals mere memories
where deserts have replaced dry woodlands

Ecclesia for the kingdom of God
as a priesthood of believers
echoes of individuals with liberty
submerge with theocratic communist elites
corporatists destroying the day

for all to become night.
