This is a poem for the democracy day. Everyone is happy and in party mood cause today is democracy day but i don't really think there is anything worth celebrating when it comes to Nigeria's expirences so far. Democary doesn't bring about improvement and development, rather it consolidates development. Since Nigeria isn't developed, the whole democratic system like the judiciary system, election system etc has ended up being manipulated and used to suppress the poor and uphold corruption and evil practices of the rich. Here's the poem below.

DEMOCRACY
Democracy is a sad chorus.
A melody becoming callous.
The lingering of livid lyrics...
a song that seems so sick.
•
Democracy is a naughty noise.
The vivid vulgarity in a voice.
An eruption of annoying echoes...
the beauty of a withered rose.
•
She is a poem with a sad theme.
Sorrow sails through the rhyme scheme
Chaos strolls across all her lines...
sadness with a strong spine.
•
Democracy is a shadow of herself.
An abandoned book on a library shelf
Dust and dirt in a desperate romance.
filth maintains a foul stance.
•
Apparently, she is sinking ship.
She has clearly lost her grip.
Soonest, she'll exit the stage...
the uncertainty of the next page.
