RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: AMERICAN DEMOCRACY
Words Fail
I don’t know what you learned in school
The Civil War was right against wrong
It was not a primeval dual
The Bill of Rights is not a song
We oppose a one-man rule
We’re better off if we get along
Fascism is never cool
In unity we are strong
When he says he will imprison those
Who oppose his infallible will
That is how fascism rose
It is clearly with us still
Everyone with an open mind knows
As our measure of outrage fills
The threat to our republic grows
They are closing for the kill
We will not give up the fight
We will stand on solid ground
We will keep our foes in sight
We will keep our friends around
We will bind our cause to the light
Until at last we’re homeward bound
