RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: AMERICAN DEMOCRACY
The Last Election
Who will you vote for in the last election?
Will you sit this one out?
Are you burdened with doubt?
Are you baffled by a hard selection?
Will you sit and drink a stout?
Don’t you know what it’s about?
Need some time for an inspection?
Listen to the rant and shout
Take a while to contemplate
The dire implications
The end of our independent state
The birth of a new nation
Conceived as an autocracy
The death of our democracy
There can be no salvation
Get up now and find your voice
Every woman and every man
Vote while you still have a choice
Rise up while you still can
