RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: DEMOCRACY
In the Name of Democracy
In the name of democracy
Join the streets of protest
In the name of democracy
Resist the oppressors of immigrants
In the name of democracy
Rise up to defend the ballot box
In the name of democracy
Maintain a constant vigilance
Support your local dissidents
In the name of democracy
Challenge all authority
Support independent media
In the name of democracy
Teach your children your ideals
Value freedom of speech
In the name of democracy
Know the history of our nation
Slavery and subjugation
A little matter of native genocide
The right to vote denied
In the name of democracy
Remember who we are
The ones who came from afar
To fight for freedom from a king
The right to worship and to sing
Let the bells of freedom ring
In the name of democracy
