RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: AMERICAN DEMOCRACY
Losing Democracy
When the oligarchs bought the news
We did not sound the alarm
We’ve other sources we can choose
What could be the harm?
When the bought our elections
After buying out the courts
It’s just natural selection
It happens in due course
Now they’re controlling information
What we see and what we think
We’ve become a hollow nation
In time our ship will sink
They control our foreign trade
And all the laws that we defy
All the fortunes that were made
By selecting winning sides
The oligarchs are rising
Like the waves in a monster storm
There are no measures we’re devising
That can save the ones we mourn
But we can save our nation
If we rally to the cause
And we can save our reputation
As a nation ruled by laws
