Man is a mystery, <br />Difficult to understand, <br />And his feelings and emotions, <br />Even more difficult, <br />His behavior reflects, <br />Only a moment of his life. <br /> <br />If he is happy, <br />He behaves so nice, <br />On the next day, <br />He appears, <br />Very indecent, <br />He might have some problems, <br />Physical or mental, <br />Or something else. <br /> <br />An examiner was given an answer book, <br />For checking and marking, <br />On a separate sheet of paper, <br />He was in pain, <br />He gave poor marks. <br /> <br />After some time. <br />He was given the same answer book, <br />He was now all right, <br />He gave very good marks. <br /> <br />Man is man, <br />And his judgments and decisions, <br />Are affected by his ego, <br />And his circumstances, <br />The judgments and decisions, <br />Should be made collectively, <br />By persons who represent, <br />Various classes of people, <br />Sitting at a place, <br />Call it a parliament, <br />In the light of a book, <br />Call it a constitution. <br /> <br />This is democracy, <br />Even its worst form, <br />Is better than the best, <br />One man rule! <br /> <br />Thanks to the lovely man, <br />And a leader so great, <br />Who defined democracy, <br />With beauty of his words, <br /> <br />Democracy is the government, <br />Of the people, <br />By the people, <br />And, for the people.<br /><br />Akhtar Jawad<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/democracy-38/
