Democracy, sadly, comes loaded with quirks.
First amongst them is that it only works
for a while and short-term gimcrackery
will always succumb to political quackery
because, after all, we think awfully small,
mainly concerned with what’s in it for me.
A minuscule something that's better than nothing
so long as all OTHERS get less, don’t you see?
We see no harm in pretended Christian,
social Darwinian, Ayn Randy morality.
Sharing and caring are far too demanding,
akin to enduring your fourth colonoscopy.
In supporting Darn Old, the American masses
did what they did to cover their asses.
Only he can instill such fear and pain in us.
And so it went, Sic semper Uranus.
