Democratic Dictators
I've yet to meet a person
Who likes the world today,
But lots of people do
Or it wouldn't be this way.
We're ruled by a minority
In accordance with democracy,
Voted by majority
Completing this hypocrisy.
The few that run for office
Will promise you the earth,
But once in power they show you
What their promises are worth.
A politicians job
Is to represent the rest,
And to listen to the people
Not do what he thinks best.
