RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: AMERICAN DEMOCRACY
The Pledge (Equality for All)
America!
Never have you woven such a tale
A man so brazen and so craven
All tests of credibility would fail
America!
We have chosen crooked men before
The epically immoral and amoral
But never one so twisted to the core
America!
You will survive this horrible attack
There always has and will be traitors
But the people rise to fight it back
America!
Your history is one of moral compromise
Genocide and slavery and liberty denied
In time you’ve learned to be more wise
America!
Bow your head in mortal shame
We should have known he was a snake
Take a vow to never say his name
America!
We stand as one and fight for you
You are the greatest hope of humankind
We pray your cause is just and true
America!
We work so that your honor will not fall
For everyone who pledges to your flag
For liberty justice and equality for all
