Principle 1 Reduce Democracy

The mainframer said
The design should be
That all power lie
In the hands of the wealthy
Our major concern
Protect the minority
The opulent won’t thrive
If the poor get to decide
We’ll say and they’ll believe
Keep thinkin that they’re free
But what we’ve really done
All for ourselves
And nothing for the rest
Seems thats always been
Our vile maxim
Set the system up
Lookin like they have a say
Eliminate equality
Reduce democracy
We’ll make up their beliefs
Keep thinkin that they’re free
But what we’ve really done
Reduce Democracy
