RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: AMERICAN POLITICS
Zohran Mamdani
The plight of the true progressive
Is that s/he is supposed to lose
Though we may become obsessive
In the end we’ll sing the blues
To the people of New York City
His message is heaven sent
He’s as smart as he is witty
He pledges to freeze the rent
We are all in this together
We’re the same in basic needs
We’re birds of the same feather
We reject the policies of greed
He makes no pledge to the wealthy
In fact he’ll make them pay
But he’ll work to make us healthy
Because there is another way
Though the days aren’t always sunny
For the man who lives in Queens
He won’t take their dirty money
But he’ll win by honest means
(Democratic Socialist defeats Cuomo
as Dem candidate for NYC mayor.)
