Why should the hoi-polloi vote?
What business have they? I mean ideally …
They're only liable to rock our boat.
They must leave things to us. We are the betters.
The wealthy. The well-born. The able.
They must remain content in their fetters.
It's not for them to sit at high table.
In power, they'd claim what we've “acquired”
is not, inherently, ours.
They'd treat us indignantly. They'd call us liars.
Even demand we be placed behind bars.
Socially, we accept Darwin's wisdom.
Naturally! We're the cream of the crop.
Evolution gives rise to this fitness system.
We'll not stand athwart it, bellowing “STOP!”
We are the heirs of Abraham Lincoln,
but his ideals from us have been leached
as over time we've changed our thinking.
We must disinter him and have him impeached.
