RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: AMERICAN POLITICS
The Klan
The Klan is alive and well
And thriving in D.C.
They’re pounding the Liberty Bell
They are soldiers and police
The Klan is in the White House
They are on the White House lawn
Feeling eager and aroused
Awaiting a new dawn
An age of white supremacy
The whites hold all the power
An old and well-worn legacy
The light in every tower
They’re armed and standing ready
Their commander is the president
They’re holding strong and steady
Their leaders are in residence
It’s a battle we must fight again
As long as freedom reigns
We don’t know or when
But the threat is more than plain
The Klan is a bold atrocity
A stain on our ideals
A deplorable philosophy
And yet it’s very real
