Hope for Hungary

In Hungary, the people have ousted

Viktor Orbán! Hip, hip, hurray!

A new leader, Péter Magyar,

Is promising a brand new day.

 

After 16 years of Orbán,

During which time folks had to cope

With hateful repression and limited rights,

Magyar is offering freedom and hope.

 

Not all folks deserve to have

Equal rights, Orbán claimed.

Only straight white men should possess

All the power, he maintained.

 

Orbán controlled the media.

Freedom of speech was thus curtailed.

Let's all hope that the autocrat's

Corruption now becomes unveiled.

 

Mobilizing supporters with fear

And hatred was for Orbán the trend.

Magyar says Hungarians must

Be united; the hatred must end.

 

Hungarians brought democracy

Back to their country. 'Twill be a shame

If we in future elections here

In America cannot do the same.
