RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: AMERICAN DEMOCRACY
The Imperial President
If I say it’s the law it’s the law
If I say it’s a crime it’s a crime
The imperial president’s flaw
Puts the nation in a bind
We are complicit in our silence
As the president does his will
Acts of war and criminal violence
He has claimed the right to kill
In this country we don’t have a king
And we do not have a god
The blowback he will surely bring
The outrage and the fraud
He is itching for a fight
To distract us from the files
Whether wrong or whether right
Someone’s bound to get riled
As we take another step
Toward losing our republic
As the founding spirits wept
As the clock begins to tick
May we change the way we’re thinking
Before we lose it all
The ship of state is sinking
In the days before the fall
