[hometext] => The world talks democracy as if it means salvation, this demonstration called democracy, I see it where I am and things only get worse... somebody come and help us, is ours different - if not, what's the answer.
[bodytext] => I wonder, and I wonder;
and atimes I just ponder
at this life we are living,
wishing I can live dieing.
.......................................
today it's hidden hatred,
morrow, a hatred sacred;
I wish I can just turn a fly
with the hope I'll still die.
........................................
justice is daily murdered;
love always slaughtered
in this life we are living,
why can't death be calling.
........................................
even with god lies no relief,
this leading god, our belief;
hallowed by a demo palsy,
this god called democracy.

| God is not democracy..God depends upon the fath of human beings..and miracles we do not expect from God to change our governments. Success of a democracy depends upon its constitotion and the discretion excercised the civilians of a country/state..if democracy fails the people or its voters are to be blamed for not electing proper persons to power..we can not deny the fact that most of the present day democracies are controlled either by global or internal capitalists or their supporters..let us hope good days..venkat |

| Thank u VENKAT, u never cease from offering amazingly useful advices, I appreciate your contribution to this... I believe you hit the point at the head when u said it's the peoples' fault when they vote in the wrong people. This is worth a good answer in our case here in NIGERIA |

| The message while short, yet easily grasped... I for one would have used unrhymed lines for a poem like this... in order not to allow musical rhymes interfere with the seriousness of my message. What do u think about this? |

| Besides, God and polotics should not be involved in the same sentence. If you are going to mix them then you should not be a writer. |

I think this is a good commentary of where our trust lies...
I do believe in democracy, and think it is best for us, but in the end, my trust will lie only in God.
Psalm 118:9
It is better to trust in the LORD Than to put confidence in princes.

| Your poem was well done. I do beleive in democracy. I also beleive that things will change when people care enough to get involved. That's what democracy is all about. |

| The first three stanzas were bland, mediocre at best, but when I got to the final stanza I thought it was great. That last stanza is excellent but the poem as a whole doesn't really relate... |
