Dictatorship Is Always Ephemeral

Long live DEMOCRACY around the world! Long live peace and unity of the Nations under the starry sky! Dictatorship is short-lived and lasts only a moment No one is eternal. It's a matter of time Dictatorship is always temporary Dictatorship is always ephemeral The constitution is the mother of all laws It must be respected. The constitution has weights Justice and democracy are twins Without peace and respect, nature is not beautiful And criminals roam the streets like crazy lice Long live the constitution! We need to get away from a sick world And drive out the anti-democratic leaders out power Dictatorship breeds crime, corruption and setbacks Long live democracy! Long live the people coming out of the dormitories To express themselves in the streets of the city. We must believe In freedom and liberty. Expressing oneself is a right, not a privilege Democracy and peace must float like angelic corks On the waves of hope, away from evils, abuses and traps Long live peace! Long live freedom of speech! Long live democracy! Long live the articles of the Constitution! DEMOCRACY only is for life! Long live hope! Long live love! Long live independence! Long live life! P.S.
