RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: WORLD DEMOCRACY
Killing Candidates in Mexico
In Texas they rig the ballot box
In Georgia they bring back Jim Crow
In
Arizona they count until they win
They kill candidates in Mexico
No matter how bad it may seem
All we do and do not know
As bad as it is in Michigan
Things are worse in Mexico
Did they think no one would notice
When so many turned up dead
For the crime of failing to follow
Where corrupt leaders have led?
(for the nerve of failing to swallow
what the cartels have fed?)
You cannot blame el Presidente
At least he tries to help the poor
But democracy cannot survive when
The system is rotten to the core
I know we think it’s only Mexico
Things like this just happen there
But this is exactly what can occur
When the people no longer care
