only the domestic animals roam

The palace lights up
Sharing its lights with the darkness
The perimeter silent the cats meowing away
The guards station at the guard’s house
Eyes staring ahead minds meandering

What now for democracy?
When ruling made without following laws
Benefitting a group or a person
Ignoring the plight of majority

The royal subjects and ruler
Listening watching news
About events unfolding
Yet they don’t take the correct approach

Preaching rule of laws
When it is needed most
The royals fail to deliver
Sitting on the sofa
Dreaming the life
They think they should have

Outside the palace
Only the domestic animals roam
Leaders without peoples’ support
There is no way they can lead
