RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: AMERICAN DEMOCRACY
The Oligarchs
The oligarchs are taking over
Let the people stand aside
The wheel of power grinding slower
The nation must abide
The oligarchs are everywhere
Every branch is in their hands
They own the water and the air
Maybe now we’ll understand
When we failed to limit money
As they bought our politicians
They all thought it kind of funny
When they fed us superstitions
They bought the way we worship
They bought the news we get
Just listen to their news clips
The propaganda field is set
The oligarchs are taking hold
Of every means to power
The takeover is crass and bold
They own the media towers
Don’t say we didn’t warn you
We informed you loud and clear
Our democracy will mourn you
As they magnify our fears
