Threat To Democracy
"THREAT TO DEMOCRACY"
Democracy has a different meaning
It depends on where you are leaning
There's always a cost for freedom
Your price is based on what you want to pay
People generally take life for granted
Never realizing that it's democracy
People should be gracious and show gratitude
The guidance and direction is the latitude
Your political stripes doesn't matter
Or will you simply say, pitter patter
If we lose our right to democracy
We will be at the mercy of a Dictator
Banning books and protecting crooks
Believe it or not, heading towards a government, one size fits all
Minority rules the majority, how does that make sense
People undecided on how to vote, stradling the fence
Making America great again, what a joke
Understand what's at stake and let them know that you spoke
Voice your concerns, using the ballot box to leave your vote
Things you take for granted, will no longer exist in this episode
The threat to democracy
Is accepting an autocracy
Idiocy, hipocrisy, conspiracy, illiteracy
The threat to democracy
