Democratic Tyrany

Whenever justice is denied

the poor oppressed have always cried.

But crying is never enough.

The oppressors say, “That’s just tough.”

An organized revolution

is the only real solution.

A chaotic and rag tag mob

is unable to do the job.

And yet, we are sometimes surprised

for the tyrants can be disguised,

Revolutionaries may be

a democratic tyrany.

It’s individuals like me

who make up the majority.
