The Democratic Way

Ghosts lived
Everywhere
And no where
Clad like any other
Looking for a prey


Hunted was
Freedom to think
Dissention caused
Death at blink


Forced thoughts
Drilled down throats
Idealistic burden
Swept across valleys


Democratic evil
Rode on law
Commodity overrated
Plunders of the wind


Culpability covered
Right under the conscience
Scoffed on media
Was dying truth


Illustrated happiness
Shams on flops
Ridiculed order
Institutionalized disorder


Anomalies justified
Called neo equity
Unions dissolved
By secret police


Government of people
Represented few
The rest outgrew
Considered carder


Omnipresent smiles of
Omnipotent General
Amended at will was
Commended army act


Tyranny of tyrant
Made to be standard
Pompous speeches
Profoundly branded


Development measured
By concrete / iron
Poverty took toll
Mothers killed infants


Instigated nationalism
Taken for granted
Enticed civil war
Bread of elite


Flags fluttered
Anthems sung
The public wept
And euphoric utopia
Unhappily never ended!
