Democracy Poem by James B. Earley
Democracy
That system of government
.....Where a 5 - 4 plurality....
Unconditionally trumps
....The amalgamated wisdom
.................of........................
105,405,100..franchised
...Voters...who then..exercise...
Their constitutional...privilege
...........To accept it all....
Author's note:
..Bush v Gore...531 U.S.98 (2000) ...the United States Supreme
Court Decision of 12 December 2000......effectively APPOINTING George W. Bush President.
This would be a great definition for the Devils Dictionary. Great piece of cynical (but true) satire. This is no longer a functional democracy that we have here (if there ever was) . You said it very well. I pray that someday, the wisdom of the many, will one day win out over the desires of the few.
democracy is citizens' triumph.let it be that way............and stay.

Democracy has followed Alice down the rabbit hole... no one knows what's up or down any more because corruption reigns supreme!
