If little children are killed
If women are raped by consent
When war is won by the one with supporters
Even though they know people are dying
People are suffering
And they still say it's the best
If people have to starve
And enslavement occurs again
If knowledge is all it's about
And morals are thrown aside
They let one side bomb the other
But call the other terrorists when they resist
If this is what you call democracy
We don't need it
If only one side gets to speak
And frequent deaths by mistake are overlooked
If only one side controls the media
And no one realise they are brainwashed
When ruthless killing still exist
When a group of people are stomped upon
Just because they don't share the same idea
And just because they fight for what had been stolen from them
You call them terrorists
If anyone gets to insult another
If everyone is free to say what they want
Without a limit, even if someone gets offended
When a friend makes fun of his mother's impaired feet
When a husband laughs at her brother's brain deficiency
And everyone gets to have their say
If this is what you call freedom of speech
We don't need it
But if you call democracy
A place where no one hurts another
Where offenders are dealt upon with justice
And an intelligent ruler walks along his people
Looking at what they eat
Looking at what they're wearing
Then he himself dons the same thing
And eats the same thing
Where understanding is more important than knowledge
When no one is a slave by consent
Where everyone REALLY gets the chance to speak
Without hurting or offending anyone
Where rulers are chosen by majority
Not by unseen voters
And technology is a tool
It is not our god
Then people work to save the earth
And people, and animals as well
When people watch suffering people on the media
They get sad and move to help
Be far they are
Be poor they are
They don't just share their wealth
But they share their sufferings
If this is what you call democracy
It is not far from Islam
If this is what you call democracy
We would not fight you
If you see artists as idols
If everyone struggles to be seen
While no one wants to be the one watching
Except those who benefit from that struggle
When people are judged by their status
By what they have, what they wear
People chase after beauty while their folks grow thin
If commercials tell people what to buy
While small dealers just collapse
If you walk by and see a homeless man
And you don't feel a bit of sympathy
When you think it is the norm of life
To have the poor and do nothing
If you cry over a dying population on the TV
Then have a good night sleep right after
If you have no remorse for that small mistake
Because you don't think anyone will remember
If doctors have to be paid to treat
If rulers have to be paid to write testaments
And women are either denied to equality
Or they are forced to work
If this is what you call democracy
Remember that it won't last long
