RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: SUPREME COURT
The Jim Crow Court
The Court has nullified democracy
In every way we know
They’ve embraced a white hypocrisy
In the name of old Jim Crow
They have decimated voting rights
Now they’ve hit a brand new low
They’ve pushed minorities out of sight
In the name of old Jim Crow
From Louisiana to Alabam
They’ve struck a deadly blow
The gerrymander diagram
In the name of old Jim Crow
They’re doing what they’re told to do
It’s the court of Donald show
We’ll all be pale before they’re through
In the name of old Jim Crow
They’re setting back the racial clock
Our discontent will grow
The Great Society has been blocked
In the name of old Jim Crow
Decisive change takes many years
Through sweat and blood and tears
The damage done we’ll never know
In the name of old Jim Crow
