RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: POLITICS
Loyalty
Loyalty is not a virtue
It is a servant without a core
Depending on its master
It is a hero or a whore
If I pledge my loyalty
To the leader of a cause
It becomes a reassurance
Almost worthy of applause
But if I give my sworn devotion
To a mob bent on destroying
My loyalty becomes a curse
Far worse than just annoying
Do not pledge you loyalty
To anyone you don’t know well
To do so may be a promise
To march blindly into hell
