RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: DEMOCRACY
Minority Rule
There are those who believe in aristocracy
That the privileged class should rule
There are those who believe in democracy
That its values should be taught in school
There are those who believe that democracy
Can be adapted to minority rule
But to pretend it’s still democratic
You would have to be a fool
Abolish the electoral college
In a bold and decisive move
Outlaw designer districting
Find your democratic groove
Punish disenfranchisement
Like the crime it always was
It’s not what the party says
It’s what the party does
Take the money out of politics
Give every candidate a chance
When we elect the best and brightest
We will finally advance
Protect the right to vote
Let all our citizens know
We are all in the same boat
And everyone must row
