We live in a country where democracy's acceptable,
As if our candidates are electable,
Does racism exist? Yes but its limited,
It's classism thats spread, in your face and intimate,
The time has come, we've slowed due to bureaucracy,
So dumbly naming a black hole as democracy,
Tighten your belt, get up and get ready,
It's time for revolution to make this nation steady,
My words may be harsh, but they arte true,
Each person fight for people, like me and you

That was a great piece of work right there :)  I would ask you to read some of my work but you probably won't like any of it due to the fact that it's all about guys. Well keep writing, you have talent.
