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.
