RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: WORLD DEMOCRACY
The Streets of Tbilisi
Three nights of protest on the streets of Tbilisi
A rage against the government that will not quell
Riot police use violent means
Turning the streets into Georgian hell
The government caved to Russian interests
After fraud claimed the latest election
Civil servants and ambassadors resigned
A massive representative defection
The Georgian people wish to join the union
To move away from the Russian beast
They are waging a war for democracy
They want their meddling to cease
The Russians are fighting on a dozen fronts
They are swimming against the tide
They are running short on resources
Lending strength to freedom’s ride
The struggle does not end here and now
They will carry it forward forever
If you ask them when they will surrender
They will answer with pride: Never!
