In the recent times a lot of jeering of democracy has been done,Democracy has become a joke today.In a hope to reinstill the pride and honour of democracy back,i write this poem.... Hope I succeed in this effort......


Democracy--A Worship

Democracy even in its vaguest forms,can show its existence in a country,
For it is not a term,For it is not a government,its the feeling of one's liberty.
A feeling that cannot be purchased in the markets,it cannot be taught in schools,
It cannot be memorized like an essay,it cannot be made with tools.
It is the belief of an individual,that he is the master of his own life,
He is at the helm for his country's future,He is responsible for his country's great pride.
It is the faith of a person,in the governance of his nation,
To his mother,to his country,it is the oath of acceptation,
Of the trust one has in his people,in their hands lay his country's fate,
And what so ever may come against them,their love would never fade.
Such is the belief of democracy,less a government,more of a worship,
Where everyone is the leader of one's country,there is no specific leadership.
But Alas! in recent times,what is left is just hypocrisy,
Under the pretext of this,'Government of the people,for the people,by the people',
What rests is treacherous AUTOCRACY..........

As it stands, government does as it chooses these days, ignoring the voice of the people. We are buried in ignorance and layers of lies. True democracy does not exist...it is dream-myth.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

We the people stake our claim to Democracy as we vote...even though many that are voted for seem to promise socialism instead of democracy...James
