RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: SUPREME COURT
Nullification
Never did I think I’d see
A Supreme Court so bold and brash
As to nullify the basic precepts
Of the constitution
Birthright citizenship
Is not a controversial issue
It is as basic as free speech
As fundamental as the right to vote
As essential as the fourth estate
But this court does not believe
In any of these basic rights
This court has granted citizenship
To private corporations
This court has poisoned the very
Heart of democracy with unlimited
Corporate contributions
If you were born in this country
Regardless of your race, religion,
Country of origin, monetary status
Or political philosophy
No contingencies or qualifications
You are a citizen and no amount
Of verbal gymnastics can alter
That inalienable fact
Beyond birthright citizenship
We now have a Supreme Court
And a chief executive dedicated to
Destroying the foundations of
Democracy in America
All Americans should raise their
Voices as one to cry out in unison:
No!
