Referendum
Referendum
Don’t anything force down another’s throat
Even a most savoured milky oat
Or sauce – dripping meat of a buxom goat.
My shame is real
With another’s defensive lines to quote:
Artificial verses to learn by role,
When I can wear a voluntary coat.
Now, how are life’s challenges won?
By rowing, freehand, one’s own boat
Or by proxy ensuring that one does float?
… And at this triumphantly gloat?
Referendum
For all of us and them!
Beyond the held as ‘Rarest Gem’:
The entire humanity
In every community
That wouldn’t be the same
Retaining not their collective name…
For issues that could a life twist
Let one present one’s own gist,
Of those convinced it would clear the mist.
In particular,
Referendum is for me
Living in a state, constitutionally free!
