Democracy

Democracy will not come
Today, this year
   Nor ever
Through compromise and fear.I have as much right
As the other fellow has
  To stand
On my two feet
And own the land.I tire so of hearing people say,
Let things take their course.
Tomorrow is another day.
I do not need my freedom when I'm dead.
I cannot live on tomorrow's bread.      Freedom
      Is a strong seed
      Planted
      In a great need.      I live here, too.
      I want freedom
      Just as you.
