RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: FREE PRESS
Banned
If he had read the first amendment
(some doubt he reads at all)
The work of our descendants
The free press cannot fall
But he doesn’t like their inquisition
The push him into a rage
They challenge all of his positions
Draw attention to his age
So he takes away their access
He throws them out the door
Like they’re all a bunch of pests
He won’t see them anymore
Yet he’ll see them on the daily news
He’ll see them at their best
He’ll see them when the people choose
The freedom of the press
They will yell it from the mountaintop
The president has no clothes
They’ll tell it when his rallies flop
And when resistance grows
He banned them from the White House
But he can’t take their right to speak
He’s as feeble as a field mouse
He’s a man well past his peak
And everybody knows it well
The people want him gone
We’d like to send him straight to jail
His kingdom for a pawn
