Pieces
Comminuted fractures
From head to toe
Side to side
Nationwide epidemic
Disconnected with internet access
America in a little black dress
No longer the damsel in distress
Courtesy of the forgotten
Emerging from the shadows
With a ballot
Imploring for Justice
But no sound from the mallet
Also deaf and dumb
Blindness, a pre-existing condition
The fragmentation is too severe
Rivals and bandages
Will not adhere
A billionaire whispers
To the shadow
And the map
Turned red with anger
Then turned to a stranger
And with a tear
In her eye
The shadow asked
"Can you make me great again?"
