DEMOCRACY, they say you can’t find anything better
Democracy, the majority of voters rules
but the majority can be wrong
Democracy, a tiny minority gets to decide almost everything
while political minorities get the crumbs
Democracy, the majority imposes its rule through brutal force whenever necessary
and they say it’s « peace »
Democracy, excess of private property is constitutionally sacred
more sacred than life in balance with the Earth and each other
Democracy, divided into lower, middle, working and upper classes
and they speak about « unity » all the time
Democracy, the privileged minority protects their excesses
with armed forces
Democracy, governments refuse to share work in a fair manner
causing widespread psychological problems, depressions, suicides
Democracy, when fairly good is not enough to be truly respected
instead, they favor their fake « elite » dominated by social torturers
Democracy, the privileged minority « saves » the poor
with charities that maintain crowds in poverty
Democracy, if you rebel against it for justice
they’ll send the cops after you
Democracy, the lesser of two evils fuels their hopes
Democracy, they say you take it or you get a dictator
Democracy, they say you can’t find anything better
denying our ability to create
something genuinely good
for real peace
Nicolas Barbier
