America is Doomed

Warren died on Bunker Hill,
The martyr of our revolution---
The Sphynx sends his armies
Over those Atlantic Hills
And makes George Floyd
The martyr of his cause;---
Orc, Sphynx, oh Spirit of the Age,---
My temporal despair,---
I drop my pen at thy madness.
Should a bully replace a man,
Should a blackguard replace a poet,
Should the Sphynx of Albion rise
America is doomed...
Yet, Maria is not yet.
