Representatives

The king of the jungle is called so, because other animals fear his power to harm. I wonder if democracy is just a garb for imposed assumptions. They manipulate you into believing that a powerful ruler protects you against harm. The harm done to your independence is not mentioned. We pay to be controlled.

it's not your power
it's my inadequacy
I want a lever
to harm those I want to harm
you echo my beastly thoughts
