Secret - Sigh - Of - The - Poor Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

James Madison
feared that a
growing part
of the population,
suffering from
the serious inequities
of the society,
would secretly
sigh for a more
equal distribution of
life's blessings.


If they had democratic
power, there'd be
a danger they'd
do something more
than sigh.

He discussed this
quite explicitly at
the Constitutional Convention,
expressing his concern
that the poor majority

would use its power
to bring about
what we would
now call land reform.
