RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: AMERICAN DEMOCRACY
Fighting Phantoms
Wingnuts of the reactionary right
Are fighting phantoms of imagination
Summoning ghosts of the distant past
To save an imaginary nation
Their enemies are all communists
Scum of the earthly kind
Like Don Quixote’s windmills
Their myths will soon unwind
They’re certain the people are stupid
They’ll believe anything they’re told
But their threats of retribution
Are getting more than a little old
You can say the sky is falling
But if you say it more than twice
The people will smell a rat
And their “leaders” will pay a price
So tell us again how our freedom
Depends on a new president
Who is sworn to Vladimir Putin
Our confidence is spent
