Hail! Democracy

 

Hail! Democracy
02/02/2021

Corruption is now the currency,
of the mind, body and soul.

A somber voice
A mourner declared,
look, my child
there goes democracy,
on the shoulders of extremists,
to be cremated, for certain.
No, no Phoenix
this time, it\'s ashes to ashes
never to rise again.

I stood solemnly,
watching the funeral procession
The pallbearers, all looked familiar
They were the enablers,
the pacifiers of evil.
There were no tears,
no sadness in their eyes

Entrenched,
moral compass skewed
Self, only self survival,
now paramount
Whether ruling, or in contention,
disruption, the final objective
Yet all the subjects heard

Hail! Democracy

What became evident
They were all Brutus\'s
