RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: AMERICAN DEMOCRACY
Deep State
We nearly lost our democracy
Not because we believed in conspiracies
Not because we believe in a deep state
Not because the deep state took control
of our institutions of government
but because corrupt and power hungry
individuals used the “deep state” to
persuade a large number of people to
turn against their own government
If there is a deep state (and I believe
there is) it is the enemy of democracy
It is allied with the forces that attacked
and attempted to overthrow our government
That defied our democratic institutions
The deep state worked overtime to
subvert our system of justice
The deep state is and represents the
wealthiest of the wealthy elite
The deep state created and promotes
the Federalist Society
The deep state virtually owns the
highest court in the land
The deep state fights against all limits
on campaign financing
The deep state supports disenfranchisement
The deep state opposes voting rights
The deep state supports gerrymandering
The deep state opposes all democratic reforms
The deep state is beyond political parties
The deep state wants control of the
political, judicial and legislative branches
The deep state is eager to impose a one-man rule
(the easier to control)
Never believe that the deep state is defeated
It can never be extinguished
In many ways the deep state is winning
Only democracy can oppose them
Only democracy can defeat them
The fight will never end
