RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: AMERICAN DEMOCRACY
In Praise of Autonomy
When our former president
Who shall not be named
Gives praise to a foreign autocrat
He should be ashamed
Viktor Orban of Hungary
Is a cruel and ruthless leader
Whose crackdown on democracy
Should terrify every reader
A man who praises dictators
Is telling us too much
Unless you want dictatorship
This man is out of touch
He proclaims himself above the law
All glory to his self
If you dare to oppose him
He’ll send you straight to hell
We’ll lose our treasured freedom
To speak out in dissent
One day we’ll simply wake up
And wonder where it went
