Bonsai World

Ancient sages said,
In their words;
There will be time,
Of bonsai world;
One eyed rulers,
Will always wish,
Their people blind;
Give less space; 
Let grow in tiny pots;
Chop the extra growth, 
Of awareness roots;
Feed less wisdom,
Than the needs;
Weak demos displays,
The strength of the reign; 
Teach only to worship,
Extol the ruler's role;
So the bonsai world,
Has effortless rule;

Even don't raise your voice against us, the bonsai ... a very good write ... the painful reality ...
