Only Hope

Funny for others,
Horrifying for me.
They clap and praise the madman,
but laugh and ridicule the sane, fair-minded one.
Funny for others,
Horrifying for me.
They were caged in a den of lions to be eaten while flock of wild birds soar;
they smile at its sight, as if a sign of hope.
Funny for others,
Horrifying for me.
That when Harold reached his hand,
they attacked him instead.
Funny for others,
Horrifying for me.
That in the coming summer,
we will officially lose our democracy.
Oh, how pitiable we are-
that stupidity and madness reign in our country.
Indeed, it's such a pity
that you chose madness over hope for this country.
