Democracy is one vote for one person.
There is no weightage to quality of vote.
Only quantity counts with no regard
To education, knowledge and placement.
A government made with quantitative choice
Cannot deliver qualitative works.
The knowledgeable executives listen
To the raw elected representatives.
Election empowers those who can vote
To select those who will rule the country.
A sense of belonging to the elected ones
Gives the voters a sense of security.
The need for power is born out of fear.
To exercise control over others
Is the power that the leader enjoys
With comforts, wealth and influences.
Decisions are taken by majority.
Representatives are from majority.
Majority cannot form from the wise.
‘Democracy is a fool's paradise. ‘
