RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: WORLD DEMOCRACY
Democracy in Syria
We hold our breath and wait
To see what happens next
There is a promise of freedom
There is hope and good cheer
The people gather in the streets
Where they cautiously proceed
Who will grasp the reigns?
Who will seize the power?
Will they use it in good will?
Or will they build a taller tower?
We pray for better days
We pray for peace and prosperity
We hope they pave the way
To a thriving new democracy
And yes we have our doubts
We have seen this act before
The best intended efforts
Have been lost to civil war
