Edwina Aleme Explores the True Meaning of Democracy 🗳️

What democracy? <br />An act meant for supremacy <br />Those arrows pointing toward reach… <br />As others try to make it breach? <br />Scavengers of the deep <br />On an actual trip? <br /> <br />What democracy? <br />An act aimed to maim <br />Magnanimity comes to play <br />And cannot repay… <br /> <br />You told me not to look <br />But I disobeyed as I see in you a crook… <br />Can evil win over good? <br /> <br />What democracy? <br />You asked me not to talk but <br />My mouth will not be shut <br />Oh, in the course of democracy <br />Great mountains collapsed, <br />Beautiful birds flew half way <br />The iroko trees broke in halves <br />Oh! Democracy, <br />Where is your rightful place <br />In whose hearts you were meant to be? <br />Where is the reason in which <br />That name was given you? <br />A name given for good to reign over evil <br />Can the hands of time be changed? <br />How many more lives need be lost <br />Before democracy can reign? <br />Stop the race tracks of violence, <br />Greed and gluttony for power……. <br /> <br /> <br /> © Edwina Aleme 2007.<br /><br />Edwina Aleme<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/what-democracy-2/
