Democracy Of Tears. by taurustm(m): 10:27am On Oct 02, 2016
In regards of the situations of things in Nigeria, i decided to write this.


Alas, what a shame!
We all expected much but received none.
The people have been deceived in their supple minds.
Now, they're in terrible grieve for their vulnerabilities.

They call it a democracy, but it's actually an oligarchy:
The ordinary man in the street have no say in the government,
He has no option than to carry any encumbrances totes on him to carry.
Nepotism is the order of the day.
Erstwhile, it was democracy, but now it is dynasty.

The grievancers keep dwelling in their rueful state,
Seldom can the eat twice a day.
It's sad the gods blessed them with lands full of milk and honey;
But still, they live meaninglessly.
Corruption has eaten down so deep than they could ever imagined.
Now, who will save the grievanvers?

A brighter future in democracy is nothing else but a pipe dream;
But who will the people turn to for better one?
The people hope for a better one but cannot provide one.
They leaves leadership to the self-centered and highfalution.
To whom should they turn to?

Selfishness; a corruptible mind suffers in selfishness.
Democracy is not the problem but the selfish leaders.
They're cursed with selfishness but they admits they're blessed.
The man on the street should pray for the reversal of this curse.

Anarchy; the song of the grievancers:
They desires to be free of oppressions from the selfish leaders.
But amongst them, the selfish sprungs.
What should they do?

In the aims of precluding Anarchy,
The selfish leaders should change.
Historically, nature has always has its ways of dealing with things.
They should change their ways before nature go against them.
Democracy should be given a better meaning to the grievancers!
