Democracy
Federalists support me, I stand strong and tall,
Yet I have potential energy to make this nation fall,
The world is archipelagos, and we a brevity,
Yet we have capacious power to ensure prosperity,
Our fights were quite guerilla, and you did it all for me,
I call that true altruism, you are honorary,
Thank me for political advancement, rightfully yours and mine
A bit out of order, still tonight on justice we dine
My kinship, I applaud you for following my will,
For the many young, brave soldiers who died upon that hill,
All good government surrounds me; I keep this union strong,
I protect the law and order; I distinguish right form wrong,
I am the base for the republic, I am wise, many, whereas
Me, You, love, and justice are all this nation has
