Letting Nature Run It's Course Poem by Ian (John) McCleary (Son of the Cleric)

Letting Nature Run It's Course

Yesterday after talking to a coworker, I thought more and more about the idea that maybe it would be best if we let the United States as we know it be destroyed. Maybe then it would be a lesson to those who want to destroy it's system of government of the consequences their actions have in the future. Maybe they have to be shown where their ideas will take them.
Of course this will not be good for any of us.
But my coworker brought up a good point that the force behind this current brand of populism seems to show no sign of giving up and is only amplified by its opposition. Any opposition to them politically speaking is not putting an end to their movement.
It would be better to let it come to it's ultimate conclusion, as fatalistic as that might sound to most of us. It will not last forever even if it meets all of it's objectives. All political regimes that thrive on fear and corruption
do not last, they eventually fall apart, it just depends on when that is. And like a mythological phoenix Democracy will have fresh life to it again once it comes out of the secluded darkness.
I have worried myself enough about saving or protecting our Democracy from these populist forces and by holding onto it only creates more anxiety for me and anger.
I think this mindset has a lot of benefit to it.
