RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: INSURRECTION
The Insurrection Act
What despicable irony
That the leading insurrectionist
Should summon the Insurrection Act
To release the military hounds
The few, the proud, the Marines
To fight back their own people
To suppress a lawful assembly
To oppress a peaceful gathering
Within the confines of our nation
This is not an insurrection
It’s a plain and simple fact
We have gone the wrong direction
We are on a vicious track
We remember insurrection
It was not so long ago
You cried out for insurrection
Then you said it wasn’t so
You pardoned all your followers
For breaking down the walls
For pushing through the barriers
For answering your call
For provoking mass disorder
For striking fear in all
For following your orders
Put ‘em up against the wall!
Now you call the soldiers in
A ruthless show of force
This is where it all begins
Our democracy off course
