Corruption and power have seemed to become two sides of the same coin. We, the common people, get the chance to feel like a super powerful person, once in five years. We feel proud for getting inked. However, later what we have to see is perhaps the delusion of democracy. A poem dedicated to the delusion of democracy. This poem is on a self-thought prompt 'delusion.'
The delusion of democracy:
Where innocents are victimsThe delusion of democracy:
And culprits enjoy the power
The delusion of democracy:
Where a weaker innocent is forced
To dance to the next authority's tunes
The delusion of democracy:
Where positions come with the benefits of power,
But without the sense of responsibility
The delusion of democracy:
Where ugly poverty can be covered
By the beautiful decoration of celebrations
The delusion of democracy:
Where what matters most is just the power
But not the people who give the power
Misuse of power is so common that anybody having smallest authority can take benefit of it for personal gains. Corruption is from top to bottom, everywhere. We can't blame only politicians.
