RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: WORLD DEMOCRACY
International Democracy Alliance (IDA)
The coup is a scourge on the world
A disease that destroys international order
A virus that kills indiscriminately
An invitation to the war machines
A peaceful transference of power
Is the antidote to perpetual struggle
An alternative to violent overthrow
An end to the endless chain of civil war
Form an alliance of civilized nations
Dedicated to representative government
An attack on the institutions of democracy
An attempt to impose autocracy
Or any other form of authoritarian rule
In any one member nation would require
all to respond in kind
When democracy is the rule of order
We can begin to end the weapons trade
We can begin to end mercenary armies
We can begin to end the legitimization of
securing power by violent means
We can begin to end corruption by
uprooting its causes
Democracy is under international assault
All principled nations must band together
in defense of democracy
Only when democracy is established on
all continents can we work together
toward a lasting peace
