RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: WORLD DEMOCRACY
Korea(s)
He chose the north over the south
Dictatorship over democracy
So our alliances are in doubt
From Ukraine to the China Sea
Our nation can’t be counted on
It seems we’ve lost our core
Our basic founding values gone
What are we fighting for?
He promised no more foolish wars
He promised great prosperity
Now we’re mired on a foreign shore
With a future of austerity
Putin, Kim and Bolsonaro
Hungary and Turkey
We’ve turned away from NATO
And threatened our democracy
Some betrayals cut too deep
They cannot be forgiven
We’re afraid to go to sleep
For fear our world may end
