Distorted House Of Democracy Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

In the wrong hands
Democracy is a curse
A dilapidated house of misery
Unable to sustain the masses
It is a rat infested boardroom of corruption
A stinking kitchen full of rotten promises
It is a rubbish bin
Full of pain, misery and suffering
It is a factory of corruption
And selfishness
It is a pot of pure wickedness
It does not care for the people
Nor does it give a hoot about their wellbeing
It is a total waste
A broken system of unfulfilled contracts
A deep hole
Destroying lives and families
Uprooting the ethos of humanity
It is a rat's nest
