I Selected Democracy

I selected democracy I rejected demagoguery I chose liberty, equality and fraternity I stepped on the ugly neck of racism and bigotry God, in His Splendor, created one human race Not two, not three, not four and a lot of space For men and women to live free and to enjoy And to be free. What a blessing! What a joy! I chose, I choose and I'll choose love over everything I chose, I choose and I will choose life over anything Money can never buy genuine love and good health Work hard, smart and be fair, share, donate and wealth Will follow you like an angel. Treat neighbors and friends Like loving and loyal family members. Provide good hands To everyone that you can. My dear friends, to the fullest Live and enjoy life. Be the best and hope for the best. I selected democracy I selected freedom I rejected demagoguery And kept at bay boredom Salute or say hello to strangers Yes, we are brothers and sisters.
