Number Two (Or Three ... Or Four)

They say they want to be our voice!
To vocalise our thoughts;
Will they dare to walk the talk
And speak on our behalf?

This is a time for men, not boys!
To lead us from our woes;
Now they roar behind closed doors
But will they peter out?

They say they must protect our rights!
Why now? Not earlier?
Why were things so strained before:
Were we accomplices?

I say to them, now raise your voice!
Despite your inner fears;
Ask for number two! (or three)
Instead of none at all.

Number two: shared by rotation!
(We give you number one)
Don't you say you care for us?
Then prove it by your deeds.

The coalition stands for all:
Inclusive of the non's?
So you say, and still I doubt;
I see things otherwise.

From top to toe, its exco team
Is controlled by one group;
Great leaders! Where do you sit
And what posts do you hold?

You have nothing, this I'll wager:
Not two, or three, or four;
Shouldn't you sit on the group
To represent us all?

Not too long ago, I had a discussion with a friend.

Here's a paradoxical question.

If our ruling coalition is inclusive of all races, why are the minority shareholders in the coalition not given number two, three or four? The problem is that number one, two, and three are from the same group. A fair solution is to rotate the number two position among the "other" groups, which form part of the coalition. The alternative is to appoint more number two's.

What is important is that number one remains with the "main" member of the coalition.
