Chocked Democracy

Dedicated to all the nations where democracy still struggles. 1x Justice staggering on slippery rocks Liberty stifling in the armpit of rogues Merit coercely relegated to backseats Corruption pillaging deeper than acids City gates dewalled by broken promises Abandoned projects yawn in premises. Holes like dead sea on bloodthirsty roads. To us they say jump and pass like toads. Dead bodies littered the ground like flies While the elect live in the palace's peaceful ties. 2x Touch not the voted, do them no harm Like star devoid of night,it's without glory. Toddlers in power, dressed in adult attire Old men twisting youths to die like matyrrh With human bloods they water their greed Bequeathing bright future to their spoilt kids. 3x The Nation is like a car driven by amateur driver. Economic flat tyre in the middle of nowhere Surrounded by bandits and terrorists at still The driver blames preceding drivers in guilt Witch-hunt nobly dressed as patriotism Outspoken voices gag cause of criticism A tale of a nation, searching for identities.
