WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A DEMOCRACY CRUMBLES?
When does a Democracy collapse and crumble?
When the thoughts of the Legislative prove averse to the Preamble,
When the powerful Pegs of the Judiciary stagger and tumble,
When the deeds of the Executive end in a fiasco, and stumble!
Then, where does a Democracy head for?
You can see a Demon-cracy grow and soar,
You can hear an Anarchy, before preying, prowl, growl and roar,
You can witness the Rich becoming richer, and the Poor still poorer!
Then, what is the Future of a State under such circumstances?
The subjects bear the burdens of intolerable encumbrances,
Public Peace is petrified, and harmony harassed by heinous hindrances,
An Upheaval lifts Its Head, and a mass prayer for a Divine intervention enhances!
Then, who are punished and who are rewarded in the end?
The innocent are adored and adorned; the devils are caned and baned,
The unsung Heroes are enthroned; the culprits are denounced and dethroned!
Truth prevails till Eternity; and Injustice is banished forever, and groaned!
