RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: AMERICAN DEMOCRACY
Gutted (Voting Rights Act)
The age of civil rights is dead
As is the age of civil liberties
The Court Supreme to Trump is wed
We’ll have no more equality
We’re moving back in time
We’ve reversed the march of progress
Racial bias is now fine
As long as whites do best
We have too many blacks and browns
Enlisted in our government
We have to turn this trend around
This is what the founders meant
Of course they had no women
Only rich white men could vote
We’re going back to where we’ve been
Too many blacks will sink the boat
You cannot right an age-old wrong
You can pretend it never happened
Minorities never did belong
Make this nation great again
Lady Justice should be blind
Democracy should not be
We need to represent all kinds
Not just the white elites
