RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: ON TYRANNY
One Party
Democracy is not a team sport
Though we often treat it as if it were
To our side we give only praise
To the opposition we shout a curse
Politics is not a religion
It’s healthy to disagree
No one is always right
No one can always please
Whenever one man has all the answers
Though the questions have not been asked
You can be sure beyond all doubt
That man is wearing a deceptive mask
Beware anyone who proclaims the truth
The one and only way
For there is no single answer
To the problems we face today
Democracy demands multiple voices
An open forum for debate
If you have only a single party
Tyranny will be your fate
