RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: AMERICAN DEMOCRACY
Mourning in America
The majority* of Americans
Have made their feeling clear
The rest of us are mourning
For the nation we hold dear
We cannot deny the mandate
Unlike the opposing side
We’ve lost our democratic state
Now we’re forced to take a ride
Down the autocratic lane
Where brutes and tyrants live
So begins the tyrant’s reign
That history will not forgive
It is mourning in America
And all around the world
The once proud democracy
Into the void was hurled
We will not give up hope
We’ll rise to fight again
We’re facing a daunting slope
With a deep desire to win
* Plurality
