The U.S.A. is not a democracy. Surprise, surprise.

A Republic or Democracy By Franklin Price 8/26/2016 A Republic or Democracy, you may think they're quite the same. You can see not by the spelling, or the meaning of the name. Though neither has a royalty, has neither queen nor king; Representatives are voted in, by the people, that's their thing. In Democracies it's everyone who has the right to vote In Republics voters law defined by representatives of note Theoretically, as time moves on, Democracy remains unchanged. Republics, through the powers that be, are often rearranged. Voters changed and methods too to keep the powers there, To resist all change, if going well, by representatives who dare A Republic is The U.S.A. not a democracy, It really is quite evident by the actions that we see. If not for the Constitution, that our founding father's wrote, Only the rich and powerful would have the right to vote The masses would be serfs and pawns; I'm not so sure we're not, For some are given all they have by the working ones who've got The rich pay very little and keep the working taxes high To keep their thumbs upon us, to control us 'til we die. Many workers are so foolish, think their votes don't mean a thing. They stay at home on voting day. In their heads, alarms should ring. By staying home, they have no voice. The rich have less to do For change will not be coming; surprise!, surprise! there's nothing new. If you care about this country, and the Republic that is here, Vote, when the polls are open,. to have a voice, I hope that's clear.
