Representing

No one person can do it all,
And no one person should,
For no one person understands it all,
Or represents the whole neighbourhood,

Or even a portion, the point is,
That one person possibly can,
Organize enough other one persons,
To create a democratic opinion,

Through actually not holding any opinion,
But to sacrifice one's own one person voice,
For how else can one person be a conduit,
Than to defy Mill's preferential choice?

And it's alright,
For in the end, everybody wins:
Everyone else for actually being heard,
And you for being their voices' conduit.
