RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: AMERICAN POLITICS
American Politics
Politics is not a team sport
Judge Judy is not a real court
When the fate of the nation’s at hand
It should not be a battle of the bands
When Tom Paine spoke so beautifully
Of the times that try men’s souls
Among the founders he did foresee
A nation made less than whole
By a ruthless man who would want a crown
Who flattered the people with promises
Of course he would let the people down
He doesn’t mean a word that he says
When the founders spoke of tyranny
Of enemies within and without
They foresaw the threats to our liberty
They knew there would be doubt
There’s so much more at stake
In the election of a head of state
Than just winning for winning’s sake
It foretells the nation’s fate
