A Critic

A critic
Claiming to run as a counterweight
Together on walks
Parallel but not in one line

Any policy of the authorities
Any mistakes always shown
You will act as whistle blower
Or supreme judge
Straighten back into the track

Started from idealism
Voice for marginal people

They then believe in you
To bring aspirations
To sit on the board of representatives

But now you're in front of the mirror
You’re confused to yell at

A critic
Died by political transactions
In front of the mirror
