Sense Sonnet - Steamer

 Unpopular Vote

"Democracy," word from the Greek

Meaning people power, so is

An idealistic means to seek

Doing will of the people biz.

"Eligible" people can vote.

Majority of vote should rule.

But elections do get cutthroat,

Because there's always people who'll

Use lies and tricks so their side wins.

There's rarely public good, instead

The system's fraught with voting sins,

Including voting by the dead.

A flawed democracy be one

When there's electile dysfunction.
