Democracy

Ancient times,
Reign of kings and queens,
Lofty visions confined in small circle,
When toung got cut,
And ears filled with melted metal in 
Roaring flow of anarchy,

We dreamt a lot—democracy
The most beautiful word
A utopian concept then 

Democracy…..
Freedom from fear......from slavery....
From all chains.

Later when mother,
Wore the same crown  
Became proud and felt being reigned
Again corrupted leaders.......  Ancient kings.
