His understudy, a man whose independence
Is all but a pathetic jest,
Was certain to defer to the Traitor's insistence
Ballots never be put to the test.
Thus counting of ballots was drawn up short
By the mischief on that night;
But the press held forth that the court's report
Didn't necessarily end the fight.
'The Court is true, you need not fear
They'll take away your right;
For time immemorial our Nation held dear
Each ballot must see the light!' "
"I felt," Dear WebSurfer, "Death's icy touch
On the principles of our Land.
Four Justices were fooled, but I, not much,
By the slight of the filthy Five's hand."
PART IV
"I now know too well the end of this tale,"
The WebSurfer ruefully said.
"The Five made their pal the King of us all,
So the Nation we once loved is dead."
"'There is nothing lost,'" The WebMistress replied
"'That cannot be found, if sought.'
Nor any evil that prevails, nor any damnable lie,
When exposed, and resisted, and fought.
And so, Attentive WebSurfer, you find me thus
Telling my tale to those who will hear
Speaking my truth, to the courageous of us
Who must fight on for what we hold dear.
Who won, who lost, we may never know,
Hero Stevens mused in his dissent.
But the PEOPLE did lose, and WERE overthrown
By the message the Injustices sent:
That the ballot is not sacred, valued, inviolate
Where that ballot's preference might be
That the Injustices' selection is not the candidate
That ascends to the Presidency.
And that the Court itself, once held above
The fire of partisan flame
Is a star chamber deserving of nothing but
The People cursing its name.
'To save one life, is to save the world entire':
A Jewish axiom now of great fame.
'To save one vote, is to save The Vote entire':
Is a principle whose meaning's the same.
So easily dismissed, the singular life --
Or the singular vote, in this case,
'Perhaps,' some say, 'we should let go of strife,
And help our bruised Nation save face?'
For me, it matters little at the end of my journey
That my comfort was forever at peak.
It matters greatly, however, that I spoke my mind truly,
and that Justice I always did seek.
So I will fight on, even if 'tis alone,
For all that America must be.
I hold her, you see, to the spirit and tone
Of a promise she once made to me:
That her rulers would be Her People, The People,
That promise a ruler makes me.
And as her ruler, I'll not cease my dissent
Until America is once again free."
- "The Diva"
