Secure Global Democracy

Secure Global Democracy

When the war is won and the killing done 
I put the four-leaf clover in my gun, 
then dance in hall of mirrors with the ghost 
who laughs with innocent faith when I boast 
about how we defeated tyranny 
and helped secure global democracy. 

For eighty years we ruled over the world 
with magic lantern of the cosmic herald, 
opposing tyrants with courage of wolves, 
trusting that democracy always solves 
contentious issues in united land 
monitored by the invisible hand. 

Before dividing walls of fear we stood 
and preached the triumph of all that is good, 
proud our Stars and Stripes flew over world peace, 
secured by service of honest police 
and soldiers on crusade of the red cross, 
obedient to the Heaven-reigning boss. 

But someone replaced Jesus as our king 
with fierce-eyed Odin and his magic ring, 
canceling the woke hippie and his love 
who never appears from the clouds above, 
while crowning bold warrior with sharp ax 
who defends pirates pilfering our tax. 

Though we once challenged Russia at its gate 
their puppet has now overthrown our state 
and crowned himself messiah of the Earth 
while his jester steals everything of worth, 
then swings his hammer and revs his chainsaw 
to destroy our complex system of law. 

Wrecking havoc with his hammer of greed, 
King Midas decrees his capricious creed 
as law that we must all obey or die, 
while he protects his sly sniveling spy 
who cuts funding for all social programs 
while blackmailing us to pay for his scams. 

Recovering from shock of his brute campaign 
to impose dictatorship for his gain, 
we rally around flag of Liberty 
to oppose their lawless oligarchy 
and free our nation from their avarice 
with righteous blow from Stone of Sisyphus. 

For eighty years America ruled well 
the Free World against tyrannical hell, 
but now our democratic government 
has been hijacked by the fake president, 
so we must fight to defeat tyranny 
and help secure global democracy.

  1. Orpheus and Woodie Guthrie play guitars and sing folk songs against tyranny with the machine that kills fascists.
