SCOTUS’ 2010 Citizens United decision set dark money loose in elections. We now live under a plutocracy.

Money from sources unsigned
renders transparency blind.
Dark money, Trump’s honey
from sources not sunny
for forces not funny or kind.

SCOTUS betrayed us to greed
political darkness now breeds.
Anonymous plunder
will tear us asunder
and thus our democracy bleeds.
