RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: WORLD DEMOCRACY
Berlin Lament
The rise of the right in Germany
Makes us wonder where decency went
Their success in the recent elections
Has us singing the Berlin lament
It reminds us we can never rest
We must always be on guard
To face the latest fascist test
To stand up though it may be hard
To put forth our democratic best
While they play the racist card
We applaud our fellows in Germany
Who rise in democracy’s defense
We must never yield to their pressure
Lest we sing the Berlin lament
