Click hereThe western world has gone utterly mad
forgetting reason and history
to follow the new fangled fad
of giving every animal in the jungle equality
The gorilla-like man who's never read a book
has the same say as the learned scholar;
the foolish woman who has her children forsook
marks the same ballot as the devoted mother
Remembering the myriad crimes of tyrants,
so many embrace the opposite madness,
escaping from eons of withering heat
to chatter in a freezing, modern abyss
For as every American child knows,
no-one applies themselves
when no profit or distinction follows,
the same meal given to giants and elves
But this applies not just to communism
which was mostly veneer,
but far more in lands like here
where the barbaric dollar is king
and from every hillside commercials ring
Do the poor benefit from absolute democracy?
The rich control their votes
like puppets on strings,
playing to their ignorance with theatric hypocrisy
But never think I advocate
a return to rule by an aristocratic few,
a forsaking of liberal progress
to return to the worldview of an earlier date
No, the common folk should have a say,
every street-sweeper should some vote enjoy,
but tomorrow will be worse than today
if the reins of power continue everyman's toy
