Unpopular Vote Poem by Ima Ryma

'Democracy, ' word from the Greek
Meaning people power, so is
An idealistic means to seek
Doing will of the people biz.
'Eligible' people can vote.
Majority of vote should rule.
But elections do get cutthroat,
Because there's always people who'll
Use lies and tricks so their side wins.
There's rarely public good, instead
The system's fraught with voting sins,
Including voting by the dead.

A flawed democracy be one
Where there's 'electile' dysfunction.
