RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: AMERICAN POLITICS
Big Tent Party
The Democrats are on the run
The “Big Tent” party has failed
It allowed a right-wing charlatan
To run the nation off the rails
If you really want a Big Tent
Don’t attack the progressive wing
If you wonder where the voters went
They felt the corporate sting
Hey Big Brother, have you heard?
They’re leaving you behind
They aren’t afraid of “scary” words
The people make up their own minds
They like what the candidates represent
They like what they have to say
A party that falls short of Big Tent
Can only get in the way
Expand your way of thinking
There’s a mountain we must climb
The old party has been sinking
For a very, very long time
You’ve been losing all the races
We have lost our peace of mind
It is time to greet new faces
Of a new and fresher kind
We need a new unification
Of all parties in opposition
To save this faltering nation
With a new, enlightened mission
