We should have known
When each of your siblings succumbed
one by one by one
starting with the one we put into power
We should have known
that eventually even you would be corrupted
that one day you would go steeping into darkness
But who were we kidding?
You always wear a blindfold
I never quite understood why you do that
Is it to escape all the wrongs that take place
while you play with the balance in your hands
Is it to ignore all the rights that are wronged
while you stand playing deaf in large buildings
We mistook you
enamored by your Impeccable ideals
mesmerized by your pretty promises
bamboozled by your weird words
fooled by your bewitching beauty
As you stood there in inaction,
a stale statue of stoical silence
You have just become a puppet
of the puppets of the puppets in power
who destroy every minute detail
of the delusions of democracy
I stand before you in desperation
begging you to wake up from slumber
Ignite your icy irisis and burn your blindfold.
