<h3> <SPAN name="demos2"></SPAN> Demos II<br/> </h3>
<p>So little have you seen of what awaits<br/>
Your fevered glimpse of a democracy<br/>
Confused and foiled with an equality<br/>
Not equal to the envy it creates,<br/>
That you see not how near you are the gates<br/>
Of an old king who listens fearfully<br/>
To you that are outside and are to be<br/>
The noisy lords of imminent estates.<br/></p>
<p>Rather be then your prayer that you shall have<br/>
Your kingdom undishonored. Having all,<br/>
See not the great among you for the small,<br/>
But hear their silence; for the few shall save<br/>
The many, or the many are to fall —<br/>
Still to be wrangling in a noisy grave.<br/></p>
<p><br/><br/><br/></p>
