The leaves fall in autumn's breeze
A reminder of what's to come with ease
A democracy in decline
A nation's fate now hard to define
Once a beacon of hope and pride
Now a nation divided
Elected leaders, bought and sold
Their promises, now stories told
The voice of the people now faint
Corruption and greed now omnipotent
Freedom and justice, a distant dream
As democracy's pillars, now seem to gleam
But hope still lingers in the air
For a new dawn, a chance to repair
Let us rise and fight for what's right
To restore democracy's shining light.
