RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: AMERICAN DEMOCRACY
Nullification
If the president can nullify the constitution
With the waving of his pen
Erase the founders’ contribution
Just how can we pretend?
There is no constitution at all
If the president by his decree
With the power of the gods and fate
Can tell us what the law will be
Then the constitution of the United States
In all its vaunted majesty must fall
If the Court upholds this grievous act
To expose our constitution’s flaw
Then they become political hacks
Without regard for the rule of law
Then they’ve betrayed us all
A person born in freedom’s land
Is a citizen by entitled right
He should not fear to take a stand
Or hide or from the law take flight
All citizens stand brave and tall
(Trump negates birthright citizenship
by executive decree.)
