RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: AMERICAN POLITICS
Against Our Own
Brother have you heard?
The Social Democrats are gaining
We’ve gotten tired of explaining
We are not afraid of words
Do not expect perfect purity
It does not exist in government
But if you like your Social Security
It will help you pay the rent
Then there’s Medicaid and Medicare
Those ideas are purely socialist
It is nothing less than what is fair
It is not about McCarthy’s list *
The Democrats are infamous
For turning on their own
Give a chance and they’ll blame us
They will throw the first stone
The old school is out of touch
No one cares about the name
It’s clear the wealthy have too much
The elite have fixed the game
If you’d like to take the power back
Unification is required
Spare your own the old attacks
Your arguments are tired
* Senator Joseph McCarthy’s
infamous Black List
