the beauty of democracy

no matter how rich
or poor
you are
how big you consider
yourself to be
all voices
at the end of the day
are equal
when it comes to vote

yes you may have influence
and corruption does often
muddles it
but ask any loudmouth proponent
of any political leanings
their biggest frustration
they have only one vote
just like the mute fella
around the corner

the great equalizer
one voice
one vote
leader or follower
equal amongst all humans

sad there exist other voices too
it's called democracy
learn or not
gotta live with it.
