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
