Delusion

 

Original common westerners lived in a delusion,

That under Democracy they augmented thrived;

Were mere inhabitants of any imperialist regime,

And served all Emperors’; them thou shalt oblige.

 A true Democracy had never enriched territories,

As exploited were its laws wherever it ever dwelt;

Uni-cultural doctrines succeeded diversification,

Never in expansive beliefs but in restricted wealth.

 

There’s a war going on for now thousand years,

For one divine law one diktat one order sphere;

The blood-soaked swords changed to spectrums,

Now chanting these for the Emperors’ 24/7 here.

 

There were temples of learnings, and the last hope,

Alas, turned into indoctrination centers; mere shops;

No evolutionary traits, nor any nurturing done now,

The sepoys are the planters & harvesters of all crops.
