Answer:

He had to confront a woman who stole two rolls of toilet paper because she really needed it.

Step-by-step explanation:

The speaker of the poem is in a dilemma, as he needs to approach a woman who tried to steal two rolls of toilet paper. The speaker knows that the woman is in need of it in some way and that her theft is not serious, but he cannot let her go. In this conflict, he questions how democracy has been positive for the population because the government continues to benefit those who do not need it, while the needy population finds itself on the point of needing to steal toilet paper.
