Democracy is a funny thing
It works for some, but not for all
Lovely when it works for you
When your voice that matters
But a **** shame, when it doesn't
To be at the whim of a majority
A majority who had to vote
Against owning another human being
A majority that said well
Unless you're in prison, then its alright
A majority who said
Being black without a job is a criminal offense
A majority who refused to hire
And who paid next to nothing
A majority who finally agreed for women to vote
Finally an opportunity for them to speak
A majority who said sure minorites you too
But that voice doesn't matter
A majority that makes a the rules
And a minority that has to wait
Wait for a time when its okay
For the majority to give up power
Wait for a time when enough is enough
But until then I'll scream my silent scream
The voiceless will topple towers
And remember it was you who
Silenced them.
