And There Lies The Irony

A good driver
Can steer even a most
Underpowered tin can
Through winding slope
Of treacherous mountain

But a bad driver
Will crash even the most
Sophisticated luxury automobile
Driving around town

A good chef
Can produce a fabulous dish
Using limited ingredients
With limited appliances

A bad chef
Will make even the most
Choice meats and vegetables
Using finest ingredients and tools
Into something inedible

And democracy?
Can good or even perfect democracy
Ensure the best and finest outcome
Despite limited candidates?

Far be it from the truth
All it can ensure
Is to make people get
What people want

And what people want
Is not always
What people should have

But in this case of Clinton vs Trump
People did not get
What people wanted

And there lies the irony
Of imperfect democracy
