RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: AMERICAN DEMOCRACY
Gender Gap
What is it about men?
Do we not believe our eyes?
We see clearly where we’ve been
All reason would belie
We should not go back again
When we know the reasons why
And yet here we stand
It is far too close to call
A woman against a man
The woman standing tall
The man without a plan
Except to build his wall
It is the Us against the Them
How else can we explain?
A flower against a stem
A mind without a brain
Our nation we’d condemn
To a horror filled refrain
Will we stumble into night
Or awaken in the day?
Will we finally make it right
Or watch it all wash away?
Will we keep it in our sight?
Hold on come what may
