RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: AMERICAN DEMOCRACY
Democracy
Democracy is not a party
It is the foundation of a free society
It is beyond and above party
It has no interest in which side wins
Democracy is the soul of America
The bond that holds free nations together
That distinguishes Europe from Russia
That divides Russia from Ukraine
That separates China from India
Republics from despotic states
Democracy is the protector of human rights
The defender of free speech
The enforcer of the people’s will
The ideology that found its modern birth
In the United States of America
That formed its conception in the Magna Carta
and the Declaration of Independence
Democracy is not a party
It does not care about social issues
It does not care about religions
It does not care about abortion
It does not care about tax rates
It does not care about regulation
It does not care about prayer in the schools
Or the right to privacy
Democracy has no horse in the race
It is the race
It is the people
It is America
It is the hope of the world
And the promise of humanity
