RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: AMERICAN DEMOCRACY
America Reborn
The miracle of democracy is
That our government is reborn
Every four years
Often there is continuity
A civilized transfer of power
A seamless flow of common ideas
Connecting past to future
Sometimes there is upheaval
As there is today
A severance of the present
From the past
A new beginning
A complete rebirth
Democracy for all its stumbles
For all its flaws
Affords us this opportunity
This miracle of renewal
We begin to heal our wounds
We begin to breathe again
We begin to see the light
We begin to believe again
We are America
We lost ourselves
As nations sometimes do
But we have returned
To embrace the dream
To secure the indelible truth
