The only thing that saves us from the bureaucracy is inefficiency. An efficient bureaucracy is the greatest threat to liberty.

rules and rulers for friend Thad
Bureaucracy has quietly
displaced the aristocracy.
Who wielded power openly
The bureaucrat rule secretly.
What seems to be democracy
is now subverted constantly.
Countenanced by apathy
Because the people cannot see.
The government machinery
which is kept hidden cleverly.
Is not the way that it should be.
The dead hand of bureaucracy.
Controls it very thoroughly.
Should they decide to disagree.
There is no way that they can be
brought to account effectively.
I do not ask you to agree,
but to consider carefully.
Only the possibility,
we are ruled by bureaucracy.

Government proposes, bureaucracy disposes. And the bureaucracy must dispose of government proposals by dumping them on us.

I don't want a lot of bureaucracy... I want to run state government the same way we run a campaign - efficient, effective and victorious.

We only have ourselves to blame!
Selected randomly by fate.
I became famous over night.
Be cause of what I chose to write.
About the duties of the state.
My writing caught the interest
Of the silent majority.
Who happily agreed with me.
It is our duty to protest.
Against assumed authority.
The creeping power of the state.
We can't afford to hesitate.
We have to act immediately.
If we do not it will become
Too late for us to call a halt.
The state will control by default.
And bring an end to our freedom..
We only have ourselves to blame.
Because we did not choose to see
erosion of our liberty.
We let the state control the game.
The time has come to overthrow
The dominant bureaucracy.
Inhibiting our liberty.
There is no doubt it has to go.
We live in a democracy.
It's our responsibility.
To ensure that bureaucracy
Cannot be used oppressively.

Election Time!
A series of elections from states to nation
Surely makes all diverted to election only!
People's power is exercised in democracy;
But now money power rules in democracy!
Now the fight is between people and money
The winner decides the fate of the nation!
Corruption is top most dominant force now;
To consolidate its power election has come!
Can corruption be eliminated by laws or will?
Civil society has to come forward to do that!
Will civil society take the lead to do its duty?
Or simply succumb to gimmicks of bureaucracy?
Elections come and people elect someone to power;
But bureaucracy dispenses duties by corruption...!

Any sufficiently advanced bureaucracy is indistinguishable from molasses.
Men will always lose the battle against cholera and bureaucracy.
Bureaucracy is not an obstacle to democracy but an inevitable complement to it.
