RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: AMERICAN DEMOCRACY
Only in America
Only in America can a candidate
Lose by some three million votes
Yet emerge victorious in an
Electoral landslide
Other nations hold sham elections
Stuffing the ballot box
Altering the count
Arresting the opposition
Shutting down the free press
Suppressing the vote
Anything to ensure the desired result
But only in America do we bend
The results by giving voters in
Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan
The weight of a hundred Californians
Only in America do we claim
Democratic virtue while practicing
The science of 18th century
Compromise
