The Hong Kong Three

RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: WORLD DEMOCRACY

 

The Hong Kong Three

 

The spirit of democracy lives on

If not in America then Hong Kong

They arrested the Hong Kong three

For fighting to be free

 

Here we await the next president

There people are imprisoned for dissent

Maybe we’re not so bad after all

Presidents rise and presidents fall

 

We take to the streets and march for a cause

Sometimes we force a change in laws

In Hong Kong democracy hangs by a thread

In America it’s wounded but not yet dead

 

We must support our Hong Kong friends

On this democracy much depends

The people will not yield this fight

For in the end they know they’re right
