A once-lovely concept
was drowned by democracy.
The rules and the precepts;
the putrid bureaucracy,

Turning a deaf ear to
everything we've got to say.

The laws and the lying
of this desecrated government,
turn a blind eye to
the dying of the innocent.

Drowning out their dreams and
taking all their hopes away.

Taking all their hopes away.

The blighted corruption,
taking over sanity,
Desensitizing children,
promoting their antipathy.

Beating out dissention
hearing only what they want to hear.

Perforating madness
at where the world is taking us.
Consequential chaos;
societally self-combust!

Self-inflicted justice
destroying things we once held dear.

The fall of everything held dear.

Nothing is more painful than realizing he meant everything to you, but you meant nothing to him. (Unknown)

It's sad how everything you wrote is all too true.
Great poem about the injustices of the world!
