RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: WORLD DEMOCRACY
Hong Kong
Democracy under siege
And no one seems to care
In Hong Kong freedom bleeds
At what the oppressors freely dare
Like the words of a song
Once you lose them they’re gone
You have to fight for your rights
When you have them
The people on the streets
Do not forget the hands
That beat them to submission
They take their stand
Like the words of a song
Once you lose them they’re gone
You have to fight for your rights
When you have them
The cameras have gone dark
The world is too distracted
With the virus traveling everywhere
Democracy cannot be enacted
Like the words of a song
Once you lose them they’re gone
Though we pray you can
Keep them Hong Kong
(August 2020)
