RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL DEMOCRACY
Massacre in Myanmar
In the land once known as Burma
Killing protesters is a sport
Shoot them down like rabid dogs
Violence as a first resort
It’s a land of military rule
Democracy is overturned
They say it’s for the good of all
But here’s a lesson we’ve all learned:
The people never benefit
When the ballot box is burned
No one wants despotic rule
No one yearns for subjugation
The people rise and rise again
To keep a democratic nation
Once again the usual suspects
Line up to praise oppression
Russia China Pakistan
Dictatorships are in session
The violence is a given
The blood is on your hands
Listen to your people
Give in to their demands
