RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: AMERICAN DEMOCRACY
Erosion of Democracy
We do not lose democracy overnight
It erodes gradually over years
We watch it happen without a fight
It does not arouse our deepest fears
They strip away our voting rights
They degrade our vote with gerrymander
They push our protests out of sight
They diminish our side with candor
The wealthy buy our fourth estate
They take control of our information
They beat us down and call it great
Say goodbye to our once great nation
Our corporate mobsters have the power
Awarded by the Court Supreme
Some will applaud the final hours
The death of the American dream
Will we rise from our deep despair?
To gain back what we have lost
There are far too many who do not care
Bend the knee to our new boss
