Masses and the mirage
Masses seek
Freedom, justice and peace
Not the slogans, pledges and vows
But the business of democracy
Turns pious expectations
In to mirage
And the mockery continues
Swindling power
Through political indoctrination
In the name of majority rule
Not one but many
Control the republics
On the ruins of trust and hope
And the ashes of aspirations
The global order
Once full of monarchs
Was buried under revolution
The clever mob of self-seekers
Redefining order and authority
Rule the masses
Under garb of legitimacy
Who is the savior?
Emperor, democrat, or in-between?
In the world of human creatures
The answer is obscure
Centuries have passed
The quest continues
Evolution may dawn
