One-Man-One-Vote
ONE-MAN-ONE-VOTE! You hear the people shouting. The walls of Mammon tremble ere they fall. ONE-MAN-ONE-VOTE! Is this a time for doubting? The poets have been prophets after all. ONE-MAN-ONE-VOTE! The cry is growing stronger! ONE-MAN-ONE-VOTE! It echoes oer the wave! ONE-MAN-ONE-VOTE! The Wealthy dead no longer Shall rule us through their children from the grave! ONE-MAN-ONE-VOTE! The knell of Retrogression! The greatest triumph of the tongue and pen! ONE-MAN-ONE-VOTE! The right of long possession Is right no longer in the minds of men! ONE-MAN-ONE-VOTE! Theres lightning in the thunder! ONE-MAN-ONE-VOTE! The reign of Greed is oer! ONE-MAN-ONE-VOTE! The cursed Vote of Plunder Shall rule the plundered slaves of earth no more. ONE-MAN-ONE-VOTE! Were waking from our slumbers, ONE-MAN-ONE-VOTE! To rule the fields we farmed! If thus we triumph with diminished numbers, What will the triumph be when all are armed?
