RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: WORLD DEMOCRACY
Israeli Democracy
The people of Israel gather
in Tel Aviv’s Habima Square
by the tens of thousands
to protest Netanyahu’s attempt
to overturn Israeli democracy
He wishes to strip the judiciary
of its authority over parliament
and the Prime Minister
A government without judicial
review is not a democracy
A court without power is not a court
Democracy requires the rule of law
and an independent judiciary
The court is not an accessory
It is the heart of democracy
If you do not like your Supreme Court
ask yourself how it came to this
If the fault is in the process
change the process
If the fault is in yourselves
change yourselves
A people that does not value
democracy will surely lose it
