RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: AMERICAN POLITICS
Nexus
It all comes together in Texas
In a region known as Big Bend
In this place and time it’s the nexus
Upon which our future depends
The people do not want a wall
In a place there is no need
This is where their power falls
And their movement starts to bleed
It’s a teacher against a crook
Ken Paxton wrote the book
Talarico represents new blood
Ken Paxton is covered in mud
Will the people finally realize
Their representatives are corrupt?
Will they wake up to all the lies
And tell them they’ve had enough?
It’s a dollar to a dime
It’s a mountain they have to climb
It’s their chance to break the chains
Their loss is the people’s gain
