A Breathless Democracy

The disorganization and confusion has become chaos now,

We should ask ourselves what led us to this and how?

Does it really matter to the flag bearers if we live or die,

The value of our lives is so diminished now, it's high time to ask why.

Why really is humanity strangulated while my nation cries,

It seems like it's just a number to them, a count buried underlies.

They are asking us to go and vote, when the smoke from pyres hides the sky,

At places, we can hear victorious celebration, while the widows and orphans are left to cry.

Apart from the flesh-eating hoarders and black-marketeers, we should remember the warriors who are true.

Please keep everyone in your thoughts and prayers,

As compassion and humanity are what is going to get us through.
