our democracy under attack

 

Our democracy under attack

Slowly by the back door

The handiworks on the market

It is sliding away


Parliament is suspended

Using the Emergency proclamation

And we thought Parliament is supreme

How wrong we are indeed!


The Emergency law isn't presented

In Parliament to be debated and passed

It is just proclaimed so Parliament suspended

The back door afraid to lose its game of throne


Cases seem to get under DNAA

The culprits will get out free until they are recalled

Without giving any justifiable reasons

AG doesn't give any reason of why


Even reporters or journalists aren't spared

They can't write bad news on the nation or leaders

They may find themselves facing court

To defend their work published


The freedom of expression got a jolt

An internet news portal get hit with $500k

On the 3rd party comments on judiciary

Though it is guaranteed in the Constitution


The way of Talibanism creeping

Maybe it has for years crawling in

Now we can see how the pattern flow

The Secular nation must stay not try to change
