This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.

not the world, only the US and other totalitarian nations. The European Union, Canada, Japan, and others holding fast to American ideals.

This former English teacher thanks you. I, too, take strength from opening a book.

I'm not sure about the whimper, but the ending seems close.

"The experiences of motherhood radicalized me and if folks in charge think I'll sit back while the country is shredded from the inside out by religious zealots and billionaires, while harmful laws are imposed on my children and grandchildren, they don't know mothers like me."

Good read.

We are the hollow men
We are the stuffed men
Leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw, alas
Our dried voices, when
We whisper together
Are quiet and meaningless
As wind in dry grass
Or rats' feet over broken glass
In our dry cellar.
