Banana Republic?

One by one they come
tumbling down....
sacred institutions meant for the rule of law
from a pedestal to being "caged parrots"
to abysmally low places...

The plight of the average citizen is akin
to the ancient tale of the frog and Sri Rama
Ram while in forest noticed his legs
had been on the frog which was in acute pain

"But why didn't you let me know?" asked Rama
"when others trouble me I call out to Rama for help
but if Rama himself is the cause of my pain
whom do I turn to? "
