She Was Beaten by the Algorithm
No one would hear from her again
She was beaten by the algorithm
Buried her so deep in the mire
No one would hear from her again
Power and dollars and influence
Are all that evil men desired
She was beaten by the algorithm
There was no means to silence them
They owned the wireless and wires
No one would hear from her again
Without a hint of violence
She never formally resigned
She was beaten by the algorithm
Mal- and mis- and dis-information
The three conspired, deceptive liars
No one would hear from her again
Civil discourse, democracy’s erosion
Truth could not stop their sudden demise
She was beaten by the algorithm
No one would hear from her again

So, this is an epitaph for democracy if we do not take a stand and do something about it in a united way. If we let anti-social billionaires, tyrants and sociopaths control our conversations, we are a doomed humanity. It cannot be said any plainer or more direct. We stand at a crossroads of history, and being silent and inactive are not options. We owe to our families, children and grandchildren to act now!
