RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: DEMOCRACY
Defending Democracy (Again)
Now is the time to marshal defense
Of our democratic institutions
Our waiting time is nearly spent
We have offered our solutions
Our enemies are on the offense
Their attacks are neverending
We all know what is meant
By the money that they’re spending
We feel it at the ballot box
They want your papers please
The basic right to vote is blocked
Registration rolls are seized
Soldiers at the voting sites
Insurrectionists in the fold
A bold denial of our rights
The excuses have grown old
If we’d like to stop the steal
We must rally to the cause
These attacks are very real
We can’t depend on the law
They will take it if they can
Give an inch, they’ll take a mile
If we fail to make a stand
They will take it with a smile
