RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: WORLD DEMOCRACY
Standing with the People (of Sudan)
A diversity of citizenry in Sudan
In the public square have taken a stand
To demand a representative democracy
To reject a strongman autocracy
Back down you generals and commanders
This is not the way to go
For though the road is paved with hardship
Its progress is steady and slow
Do not turn your guns on the people
Let them work to find a way out
Overcome your need for power
Reject your burden of doubt
Democracy must find a way
Like water through fields of stone
Uphold the will of the people
And you will never stand alone
All nations of law and liberty
Must back the people of Sudan
As they make their voices heard
As they take a courageous stand
