RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: FREE SPEECH
McCarthy Lives
Because we have forgotten
We are condemned to live the past
A time when government turned rotten
All citizens should be aghast
It was known as the Great Red Scare
The Bill of Rights was suspended
Speak out boldly if you dare
The right to speak has been amended
Are you now or have you ever
Been a member of the party not in power?
Then your rights are hereby severed
As of this day this very hour
When we’re afraid to speak our minds
For fear of dire consequences
Then our democracy is blind
Building walls and erecting fences
They’re building prisons for us now
In the name of law and order
Don’t know when, don’t know how
But they will drag us to the border
