DEMOCRACY
Waiting, anticipating,
The dawn of a new era
Silent, watchful,
The world continues unabated
Number, select
Another nation declares its sovereignty
Boom, crash
Another child's dream shattered
Loss; gain
Iconic constructs of mortal men
Death; birth
Forgotten miracles of heavenly worth
Smokey mirrors
Fiery reflections
Illusion of self
Deception of thousands
Prophets of creative truth
Disciples of true lies
Followers of perverse justice
Students of selective equality
Hegemony pervades
Rhetoric is but the tool
Names change
Relatives of the same family
The voice in the wilderness, as
Lonely then as now
The cacophony of the masses, as
Foolish as it is Futile
Wherefore Hope, my naive friend?
The more things change,
The more they remain the same
'Trust in the Beginning and the End'
