Loyalty

 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
