Democracy Versus Demo-Crassy Poem by Hebert Logerie

I am for good democracy,
But against demo-crassy.
In countless remote countries, the last
Reigns like a queen. It's really an ignominy
To see so much suffering, sorrow, and misery
Corruption is like rampant or crawling rodents,
Gnawing the epicenter of viable and valuable plants.

Demo-crassy is the accumulation of filthy jumbles
And plastic glasses and plates that the irresponsible thugs
Ignore. The stench or harmful carrion is indescribable,
And the ugliness of these monsters is odious or even perceptible.
The people are tired of these dishonest and parasitic rascals,
Which fatten themselves like vultures and earthworms.

When will we see the positive images of democracy?
There are domestic and exotic mercenaries who
Control and manage, at a distance, the proletariat and the peasantry.
One-eyed and mischievous clowns no longer exist. The blind and the boukis
Now go to the polls to vote, to choose. What a travesty! What a tyranny!
What deception and tragedy for the people who are invaded by cowardly ants!


Democracy should be progressive, popular with beautiful and good intention,
However, its reality is limited to the point of view of imaginary actions.
While in demo-crassy, the hypocrites, the fake and the false democrats
Are in charge. They enrich themselves, and then they leave the crusts and pasta
For their close relatives and friends. In demo-crassy, freedom, in truth,
Exists only on cheap paper, in documents or books written in chalk.
