DEMOCRACY DOWN … APRIL 22ND, 2014
BY
JAMES BREDIN
We have to wait till the next election but we don't know the date,
Our politicians won't let us know and it will not come up for debate,
In fact they would prefer to cancel elections completely,
And to do all these Constitutional changes discretely.
This kind of talk is frequently and quietly swept under the rug,
Those who question this type of talk, will get a political shrug,
So no binding referendums or recall for you or me,
Democracy is almost banned even if you don't agree.
And you don't even have to vote if you don't feel like it.
And there's nothing they can do which they will never admit,
So shut up, sit down and there's no need to even think,
If you know a loud mouth; just tell him, to go see a shrink.
