Chapter 10 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 Im dead. I cannot live on tomorrows bread. freedom Is a strong seed planted In a great need. I live here, too. I want freedom Just as you.
