Lack of Democracy

by Ashraf Al Deen   Oct 21, 2014


I suddenly thought
Why not
Let me try my fist on his nose!
When we are together so close,
In the same street same county,
Same village district and country;
We know each other since long
For sure we know what's right or wrong.
Yet his behavior is so sad and funny!
He wants to impose tyranny
On me whereas we always had been equals;
My disliking hatred and anger swells.
The chair allows him to do anything
It's arrogance his face will bring!
With bad neighbors he spoils our peace;
He doesn't care to understand these.
If I at all protest or shout at any time,
He sends me behind the bar for this crime!
Now, suddenly I may punch on his face;
Though I know he'll send me to gallows
for this terrorist case.
