RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: AMERICAN DEMOCRACY
After the Storm
Remember every bit of this
When we survive the storm
Every solitary crack in the system
Every violation of the norms
A fool’s last testimonial:
It won’t happen again
Bad and evil always lose
The righteous always win
They said it twenty years ago
When we were wounded to the core
The wise and righteous warned:
Beware the curse of Bush v. Gore
So now we’re forced to realize
How easily the republic falls
Our revered institutions depend
On the faith of one and all
We need to take real action
We need to pass new laws
Or the glory of our republic
Will become a sad lost cause
