The Filibuster - v3
Minority rule
raw land over people
a compromise anachronistic
holding onto usurped power
from when we began.
The filibuster undemocratic
holding onto usurped power
the balance tipping
to the west, the south,
away from both coasts.
Minority rule
states’ rights preeminent
Sons of the Confederacy
holding onto usurped power
a day of reckoning to come.
