Virtues of Democracy

 RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: DEMOCRACY


Virtues of Democracy

 

When people come together

From diverse cultures and ages

Different backgrounds and races

Varied interests and stages

 

They can rise to the moment

When they find common ground

They can answer the calling

You cannot keep them down

 

You will see them at the ballot

You will hear them on the streets

When they stand as one people

They won’t go down in defeat

 

The virtue of our republic is

We can alter our course

When the old mount stumbles

We can ride a new horse

 

When the people are united

Their power is unbounded

Like the virtue of government

That our forebearers founded
