proportional representation

we give each other reasons to rejoice
our hopes are not confined to ones or twos
what is reflected is a range of views

we want the many options complex choice
no single power is left to turn the screws
we give each other reasons to rejoice

what must be heard at all times is the voice
of those who have been victims of abuse
it's their demands that must provide the juice
we give each other reasons to rejoice

I have just spent a couple of hours on the phone to someone who is holding someone else who is the victim; the giving of time, support, just listening... so I come here and find that, for whatever are your own reasons, there is resonance, which answers this one's need for input.

I trust you too have input, to balance all that leads you to write all this.

Thank you, again.

You're most welcome. I'm glad my meagre words have resonated with you.
