Democracy
Man tames scourges
Eats distance
Sends his image
to his neighbours a thousand miles away.
Man makes deserts bloom
If he chooses.
Instead, he embraces doom
For his world and for his kind
He cannot tame his screams.
He cannot tame his dreams.
He cannot tame his passions:
The forces deep within
He lives by fear
He lives in fear.
He lives through fear.
He lives because of fear.
He grasps
He claws
He seeks all
But morality.
He seeks to prosper
But he fails to see
That the more that he tries
The more he fails his inner self.
So foolish
So thoughtless
Follow
Not thinking.
Why blame leaders
when things go wrong?
We agreed.
Just tagged along.
