RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: POLICE STATE
Ilhan Omar (The Persecution)
It begins with a member of congress
Representative Ilhan Omar
As the ACLU will surely attest
The gestapo has gone too far
If they can target her then no one is safe
Their poison goes to the heart
It proceeds directly from the head of state
Vengeance as a work of art
It’s clear these people have no shame
Common decency escapes them
They want and need someone to blame
We hope the people forsake them
It’s true they came for the Muslims first
Who else is on their enemies list?
The immigrants have felt their curse
And they’ve taken aim at journalists
If you dare oppose their insolence
They will haul you into court
They’ll harass you til your money’s spent
They’ll push you to your last resort
What they have done is a disgrace
To the office and the nation
There is no chance of saving face
There can be no salvation
