RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: AMERICAN POLITICS
Not a Drill (Ode to Canada)
Sound the alarm
This is not a drill
We’re sworn to do no harm
Yet we feel a sudden chill
Our neighbor is our friend
We’ve never had a better
Our money we would lend
Followed strictly by the letter
Now everything has changed
We’ve threatened them with debt
Our friendship is estranged
It’s as if we’ve never met
Take heed while you can
For this is not a drill
Our leader wants your land
He has the power and the will
He will take it if you let him
He expects you to defer
If you’re afraid you will upset him
Do not let his threat deter
Time to stand and fight back
Time to summon all your friends
Do not waver, stay on track
Do not fold or bend
This is not a drill
It is a call to arms
Summon all your will
Sound the alarm
