RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: AMERICAN DEMOCRACY
Undecided
Democracy or despotism
However can we choose?
Incompetence and bigotry
What have we got to lose?
We’ve watched this rolling train
Like a virus on the loose
We see what looms ahead
We’re riding in the caboose
We can stay on this errant track
If we’re determined to die
Or we can slam on the brakes
Put an end to the great lie
We will have to rebuild of course
There’s no way around it
It’s broken and scattered
That’s the way that we found it
But don’t tell me it’s hard
To choose between the two
There’s no choice at all
It’s the false and the true
What we choose to do now
Sets the future in place
The fate of our children
And the whole human race
