To Me

Somebody walking around asked that to me What does Democracy really mean to me I couldn't say clearly what it means to me I grew up in valleys and there it was molested everyday infront of me I heard it crying loud from the mountains, saying something to me As a kid it didn't mean anything great to me Growing up I saw it tortured in front of me I saw it being shot py pellets infront of me I saw it being take to jail I saw coming wounded on bail I saw it suffering and running like me You are not life but a part of life to me Dear Democracy you are like an orphan left alone to me

Democracy means different things to different people and people only see things with a closed mind.... only when we see with an open mind do we see both sides of the story..
