Democracy we are.
The essence being far.
They say it’s for the people.
The words sound very simple.
By the people it’s made.
The reality long buried laid.
Of the people it consists.
For vested interests it exists.
We have the power to choose.
Why rational thinking we lose?
We have the chance.
Why give only a casual glance?
We have the right.
Seldom do we fight.
Destroying the essence.
They are only a menace.
Everyone says they have to go,
Yet reaping what they sow...
