Double Zero

One man, one vote Listen to the double zero poll echo One man, one vote is power transition farcical A national joke One man, one vote is very unpopular electoral Lever pull okey-doke One man, one vote was a woman suffrage hoax A muzzle masterstroke One man, one vote Con-stitutional pipe smokers took a fake vapor toke One man, one vote of very lil’ jolt Alternate current voices got a direct party line swing nope One man, one vote Poll echo tally count double zero Sum abacus croak One man, one vote Majority honk indignation got a carny clown soak One man, one vote Popular gripe concession twas a ballot tear choke One man, one vote be a lost bleat, pearly poll wee echo Uno shuffle double zero One man, one cell vote sorely received the Bilk-o freedom cry A Trump card eye poke One man, one vote ~ Democracy false hope Mandela truth was a pauper lie Just like that rich Joker bloke crying broke

One man, one vote = a cruel joke... like one soldier - one bullet. ~ A survivor
