Flushed Down The Drain



To allow a perceived right,
A flushing down the drain.
With a given not to earn,
An entitled life to do as one like.
Inspite of disliking,
Of who says to convince...
They should listen and despise,
Others living their lives...
Choosing from few,
Opportunities to them intended to refuse.
Can not be accused to be the ones,
Actively observed to see...
Destroying their quality of life to believe,
Others of ethnic identities...
In a land where democracy remains to exist.
Yet many deceived,
Have chosen fiction to delude...
Themselves alone and exclusively,
Are better qualified than others...
To live and receive entitlements to get.
Whether or not they pledge allegiance.
Proving their loyalty to a country democratic.
Although more concerned,
As to who is more deserving...
To sit around complaining to blame,
How a democracy is administered.
Done with an image,
Changing the face of it.
As if this progress should stay limited,
To the celebrating of permanent ignorance!
Already achieve by those seen,
Flushing their own future down the drain.
While censoring the truth and reality,
Of their own participation.
To delude their lack of common sense.
Gone and left to leave,
As proof and evidence of it!
