RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: AMERICAN DEMOCRACY
America First
There are those in the party of Lincoln *
Who loudly proclaim America First!
But when it comes to serving the nation
Their record could hardly be worse
Given a choice to protect the border
At the cost of supporting Ukraine
They turn their back on both causes
Like trading the wheat for the grain
The truth has now become clear
It’s not America first at all
For in the balance of global relations
Russia’s rise is America’s fall
We have witnessed a dark infiltration
Of our hallowed congressional halls
The subversion of our great nation
As support for our ally stalls
Who butters your bread Mister Johnson? **
Who tells you what you must do?
Do you know to whom he answers?
And whether his cause is true?
* Pre Civil War Republicans
** Speaker of the House
