RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: AMERICAN DEMOCRACY
The Love Letters
Remember those charming love letters
That our (former) president loved so much
Written with boundless affection
With a gentle and giving touch
All of you who have spoken ill
Of the man in the Oval Office
Who have blasted your obscenities
From the beds of moving trucks
If we lived under Kim Jong-un
You would find yourself imprisoned
Incapacitated or worse
Condemned to reeducation
Under the cloud of the leader’s curse
Remember the brotherly romance
Of our then president and the Vlad
The animosity that we showed him
Made our leader extremely sad
All of you who have expressed doubts
About the sanctity of our elections
If we lived under Putin’s rule
Your votes would be cast out
You children would be sent to fight
For the conquest of Ukraine
Your freedom would be compromised
Beyond all recognition
You would find yourself against a wall
In a compromised position
Be grateful for what we have
Be careful not to lose it
If democracy is not your bag
We can end it if you choose it
