The Pledge of Rage

 RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: AMERICAN DEMOCRACY


The Pledge of Rage

 

I pledge allegiance to the dawn

Of the united states of rage

Democracy will not last long

If we turn a tragic page

 

Once or twice in a lifetime

We face a critical choice

There is a mountain we must climb

To hear the quiet voice

 

A voice of reason carries strong

To those with open minds

A simple question: right or wrong

The truth is there to find

 

A voice of anger speaks to hate

Hate both of self and others

Stay the urge to tease your fate

Think of your dear mother

 

This world is not so horrible

We do not need destruction

It can be quite adorable

Let it flow without obstruction
