I Do Not Swear By Democracy

I do not swear by democracy though on human rights i do believe
Since many democratically elected governments to cling to power the voters deceive
By preying on their fears and phobias the Government of the U S A
Have kept foreign prisoners for years without trial locked up in Guantanamo Bay

For years by the jailers of the World's most powerful democratically elected government without trial kept in jail
Successive democratically  elected U S Governments the human rights test did fail
Democratically elected governments abuse of human rights by other Countries governments may well criticize
But their own abuse of human rights they seem to fail to realize

Governments Worldwide democratically elected and dictatorships guilty of human abuse
For human right transgressions they use anti terrorism as their excuse
For forced confessions through beatings, electric shocks and water boarding by most governments seen as okay
The torture of prisoners is widespread in the Human World of today.

The praises of democracy the patriotic masses well may sing
But than that a fair go to every human being is a more important thing
Than democracy is and it does seem sad to say
That prisoners are being tortured and beaten in many Countries in the World of today.
