Old Joe Goes Overseas

 RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: WORLD DEMOCRACY


Old Joe Goes Overseas

 

Old Joe goes overseas

To affirm our bonds with allies

As Beijing is locking down

Hiding state sponsored lies

Meantime Moscow is feeling bold

Sending out a team of spies

Democracy is on the wane

Dictatorship is on the rise

 

It’s a war of basic values

It’s a battle of the mind

One side seeks human rights

The other is flying blind

 

Xi Jinping enslaves minorities

Acceptance is your fate

Oppressing all his people

Imposing an Orwellian state

You will suffer harsh oppression

If you dare to deviate

 

Mr. Putin is little better

Though he plays a better game

To his political opposition

Their fate is much the same

He flaunts his techno power

His hackers put ours to shame

Old Joe must drop the hammer

Holding Vlad himself to blame

 

America is on the move

We’re getting back on track

Flexing our economic muscle

Ready for the next attack

So watch out all you autocrats

The Free World has what you lack

Freedom and individual rights

Democracy is coming back
