Work To Maintain Democracy

Work To Maintain Democracy

Though I feel like broken puppet of fear,
bones of fragile glass cracked by ache of hope,
in struggle to maintain democracy,
I feel justice will prevail in the end.

I long believed wise deity of truth
somehow controls how humans live on Earth,
maintaining justice for the noble good
and punishing those who hurt other people.

How many times in human history
did strong men rise to defeat evil tyrants
and protect good people from greed of thieves
so justice always prevailed in the end?

Yet we humans had to fight for that right,
imposing rules of behavior through laws
to reward people who create good things
and punish people who destroy our lives.

Justice for good people is just not natural,
for no supernatural deity of love
oversees process of civilization,
therefore we must make justice through our actions.

We must work to maintain democracy,
united to fight against tyranny,
for some angry man will always attempt
to control the liberty of our minds.
