RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: AMERICAN DEMOCRACY
New Day
More than a nation
America is an idea
More than a government
Democracy is the embodiment
Of principles and ideals
A raging mob representing all
That is antithesis to America
Broke down the barriers
Pushed through the doors
And came within a whisper
Of capturing or killing
Our elected leaders in congress
But they did not touch America
They did not wound democracy
They did not strike down
The American ideal
These indelible truths
Were beyond their reach
Beyond their grasp
Beyond their comprehension
They showed their colors
But America was not at risk
For it exists deep within
The heart and soul of Americans
In a place they cannot touch
