RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: AMERICAN DEMOCRACY
The Left Left Me
The left has been my sanctuary
A place where I belonged
A place that always welcomed me
Together we stood strong
Along came Trump and Putin
A force as evil as can be
Some say I left the left
I say the left left me
Putin funnels his dirty money
Into parties left and right
He offers you a spot of cash
He owns you if you bite
The left was once his adversary
Now they’re adversaries light
They’ll say it’s for the greater good
But we know that it’s not right
So now they do his bidding
On the invasion of Ukraine
They’ll pin the blame on NATO
Though they know that it’s insane
They pretend it’s not aggression
It’s the propaganda game
It’s a push for a new empire
By any other name
It’s a fight against democracy
They ought to be ashamed
It’s as plain as it could be
Some say I left the left
I say the left left me
