RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: DEMOCRACY
Many Voices
Democracy can only advance
When we recognize that there are more
Than two voices among the people
There must be more than two choices
To represent them
When every important issue in the world
Has the complexity of advanced trigonometry
Why are we compelled to choose between
Polar opposites?
Why is everything black and white
Yes or no, down or up, death or life?
We need a government that reflects
The diversity of the people
Multiple choices, multiple points of view
In this world of ever-increasing complexity
Nothing else will do
