War of Politics
The country is at war again
War of hustle and bustle for power
Power for self aggrandizement
All in the name of democracy
Birds of prey are in full flight
Hunting for the Carcass
Of the comatose nation
All in the name democracy
Friends are turned foes
Adversaries have become strange bedfellows
Scuttling shamelessly from one nest to another
All in the name of democracy
The country is at war again
Tension and pressure everywhere
This is the season of double-speak
All in the name of democracy
Truth stands on its head
Lies of yesterday
Have become truths of today
As mendacity has murdered credibility
All in the name democracy
