We live in a world filled with bitterness and unjust
If war or a pandemic doesn't **** you
Then intolerance must
If you belong to a particular community.. You're labelled a terrorist
And if you are a liberal and have strong views about the government and it's policies then you're termed an extremist

We live in a world where fake news and whatsapp university rule the roost
Where most of the media propogates hate to make it's trp boost
Where good and affordable healthcare is still a dream
Where women's safety still makes us scream(in anger and concern)

We live in a world where the big pharmas mint money by playing with people's lives
And politicians try and capitalize on people's fears
Where we are still waiting for a true leader to guide us
If the government can't provide for us..
..then I wonder what did they get elected for?

So what is the way forward?
Is there a solution to all of this?
Of course there is... For starters.. Governments must work with their citizens and not against them
They should take criticism in their stride and learn from it
Question is... Are governments across the world ready to hear what their citizens have to say?
Are they even concerned about them?
Or do they only care about power..
I have serious doubts about intentions of most Govts worldwide...
I know not what the future of most democracies holds...
But a part of me... Even though that part is miniscule.. Is still hopeful of true and sincere democracy rising again...
