Democracy? What A Shame
Democracy? What A Shame


The fear of isolation in the name of unity has left me fazed
I can't say I'm surprised
Not when institutionalized injustices have been praised
In the past and the present
All I see is torment.
Minorities being forced out,
Communication shut down
Democracy being burnt down
Because burying the dead isn't what we do
Our religion doesn't allow it
Hinduism deems it unfit.

So we burn bodies of those we can
We sit back and watch as the country chants
Some in solidarity and some in praise
We praise war and we applaud killing
We find this bloodshed so fulfilling
But what when it's our blood
Flowing freely in the drains of our streets
We cover their bodies with white sheets
And say our goodbyes
And we promise to avenge them with more violent ties
