Democratic Asthma
Engulfed in political cold
The democratic government has fold
Struggling for a fresh breath
As it has been denied of a good health.
The political race of democracy
Has made it a controversy
A feast of chameleons
Everyone a master of acts and colors
Politics has rendered democracy askew
Lincoln's definition of democracy
Has only become a theory
As it's not manifested practically
With the various executives
Using the legislative/judiciary aggregates
For their imperial interests
In spite of the representative's presence
Maybe I would have known no democracy
And lived under an autocracy
Rather than just hearing democracy
As a theory and visual fallacy
As politics has rendered democracy
An asthmatic patient
As it struggles every day for a good breath
To be perfectly practiced.
About this poem
This poem was inspired from a bleeding heart over the state of the democratic government especially in my country of residence.
