RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL DEMOCRACY
Erdogan’s Betrayal
As if to prove his power
As if to prove his infallibility
As if to test the limits of his lawlessness
Erdogan ordered the detention
Of his rival before the next election
The mayor of Istanbul
An enemy of state
The mayor of Istanbul is not
An enemy of state
He is an enemy of Erdogan
He is an enemy of the dictator
He is a friend to democracy
He is a victim of oppression
He is a candidate for change
His name is Ekram Imamoglu
He is the reason for massive protest
In open defiance of Erdogan’s law
You can take away their rights
You can take away their freedom
But you cannot take their voices
You can beat them down
You can push them back
But they will rise again
