Oh ponderous thought, which dost beset the mind, For in the heart of democracy doth lie A tempest wrought of fairness, quite entwined With that vexatious thing—Electoral sly. This College, that claims to uphold the voice, Stealthily dost suppress the people's will, And in such folly, cunning hath no choice— To render votes as shadows, dim and shrill. For lo! In lands of populous accord, The weight of but a single vote oft bends 'Tis worth, where scanty voices oft are stored, And thus a fairer scale the scale offends. If to uphold true equity we strive, Then this grand College must, in truth, contrive To make the voices of the many heard, And not to let the fate of rights be blurred. Hence, when arguments are gathered round the fire, Two premises emerge as flames inspire, And from each sparked thought, one inference we find, With sub-conclusions aligning, though intertwined. Thus in the annals of discourse, let us mark, A structure forged with logic’s clarion spark; Now, careful count we must within this sphere— Seven elements to chart as thoughts appear! Let wisdom reign, and let the people choose; For in democracy's embrace, none should lose. So in these verses, the argument be drawn, For each soul shall sing its vote at dawn.
