A Song of Despots: Erdogan (ER DOH WUN)

 RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR:  WORLD DEMOCRACY


Erdogan (Er doh wun)

 

A man named Erdogan

Happens to be the only one

Allowed a voice in Istanbul

Where dissidents are sent to school

To learn how to think again

To criticize is a deadly sin

Give up you cannot win

 

It is time for Erdogan

To give way to another one

Who believes in self-government

And is sufficiently intelligent

To know that despots cannot last

Your time is coming fast

A truth you soon shall grasp

 

This is my song of despots

Be it ER DOH WUN or ER DOH WAN

Let go of power while you can

Free the people or flee the land
