Democracy allows the rich free hand
To set the rules and grab all of the cream.
The poor support this thanks to underhand
Techniques of dangling an unlikely dream.
Pure communism’s a depressing theme,
Suppressing greed, ambition, selfishness.
Mild socialism’s not quite as extreme,
And is therefore seen as more dangerous.
No government means inhuman chaos,
Where money’s might is right is all that’s planned.
Some folk are cracking; you can see the steam
Hiss from their ears like smoking volcanoes.
Democracy’s not fair, we understand,
But we don’t care, for we are not a team.
