day SEVEN HUNDRED and EIGHT FIVE

A New War
“I fear that if he loses the election in 2020, there will never be a peaceful transition of power.” — Michael Cohen

Congress investigates instance after instance
of presidential malfeasance—
hush money to mistresses,
foreign manipulation of U.S. elections,
treasonous acts, blatant corruption.

GOP members paint the Panderer-in-Chief’s
testifying fixer as a habitual liar.
He produces cancelled checks, documentation
of hush money paid out to silence women
as evidence to back up accusations.

America splinters along
ideological fault lines.
As democracy sputters,
suffocated by ignorance, greed,
Lady Liberty weeps.


--Jennifer Lagier
