RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: WORLD DEMOCRACY
Enemies
of Democracy
Putin is
a master propagandist
A
pretender to democracy
His
elections are a farce
He
assaults the free press
He
destroys political opposition
He
attacks his democratic neighbors
For
daring to choose their own leaders
Xi is a
master of propaganda
Another
pretender to democracy
Isn’t it
strange how ruthless dictators
Find it
necessary to pretend?
There is
no genuine journalism
No
institutions of free speech
No
challenge to government dictates
No
resistance to oppression
Erdogan
is a wolf in sheep’s clothing
He
exploits the religious right
He jails
journalists and opposition
He
punishes freedom of thought
He rules
with the fist of fear
He
maintains military control
Bolsonaro
is a wannabe
He tried
to negate a lawful election
He tried
to silence the opposition
He tried
to punish dissent
He
failed
Netanyahu
is a wannabe
He
despises independent speech
He tried
to gut the judiciary
He would
destroy the free press
If he
had half a chance
He would
establish military rule
Trump is
a threat to democracy
He
admires only strongmen
He
disrespects the rule of law
He
wishes to use the justice department
To
punish and silence his enemies
Given a
chance he would end
Democracy
in America and
Appoint
an American King
