Pseudo Democracy
There are borders made of tall cement walls.
Relentless mountains & wayfaring rivers that have tasted blood.
Borders made of armed men dead, alive, forgotten
Borders made of distorted religions
Borders sharp as swords that have cut limbs and breasts.
There are borders we create everywhere
We go like self-proclaimed universe in comfort zones
We are drawing borders on minds and souls
dropping bombs on ideals, we bemoan air raiding people
who won't conform until they fear even the sight of a shooting star.
We create borders arguing over truths
like we have more than one kind
Instead we create borders over and over
like horizons stacked up one over the other
We're a world that raises wall around it,
each time a light wants to enter
We're a world that wants the dust to fall soon
so more bombs can be dropped and
some more dreams may be shot.
that tones was an abuse
we had to survive
Our government assassinate opinions
Our leaders regressing ,
it shows us in the vast blue ocean of iron
cutting holes in other's boat, when own is sinking
WE LIVE IN PSEUDO-DEMOCRACY
and we go on pretending, succumbing adjusting
Who thought us to draw political maps
on the faces of people that enter our countries ?
Who thought us that there only 196 kind of people
because there are 196 countries ?
We're all one earthquake, one civil cry
short of becoming refugees
and that speaks a lot about the fault lines
under our own democracies
These borders continue to divide,
two sides that are no different from each other
If we drop this facade of courage
we'll see our borders are just made of fears
Each direction you look, are horizons.
What seemed beyond the end of vision
and you'd know it
doesn't look any different than you
aren't you beyond the horizon
for someone else too ?
