Idealistic and naïve were we
Grew up listening to and mimicking hollow
shouts of
“Government of the people,
for the people
and by the people.”
Little did we know what it meant then,
And now our cynical laugh
tries to cover up the broken,
the loss, the hopeless void
that is an inescapable part of us.
We the people are just
the rage, the frustration,
the vulnerability,
the exploited, the demoralised
But we have never known nor will we ever be
a part of this mythical government,
which was of, for and by the people
