RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: DEMOCRACY
The Purge
Florida pioneered purging the voter rolls
Without it Bush* would have lost
From there the question only grows
This topsy turvy world was tossed
They found a way to cull the vote
Using names from a felons list
That they were minorities is of note
If they were white they would have missed
The history of the world was altered
By that historic election fact
Our democratic system faltered
We haven’t found our way back
There are many ways to beat the system
Our democracy is endangered
There are times when we missed them
The threats could not be plainer
When it comes to cheating let’s be clear
It’s nearly always the GOP
With the next election drawing near
We can’t afford to let it be
All people should be united
In our belief in democracy
Do not let it be decided
By those smelling of hypocrisy
* George W. Bush
