Default Creative writing...please correct grammar

Democracy is

Buy the people
Far the people
Off the people

Our politicians are experts in earning

Name, fame but without shame

Indeed our citizens don’t believe in casting vote but to vote castes

Our heart says ‘peace of society’ should prevail but our mind says ‘piece(s) of humans in the name of religion’ again invoked by the so called guardians of the democracy our politicians.

Kindly tell me how you find this anmd do check it for grammar, I am awry about the last para, does it sound correct?

new2grammar, please rework all of the following examples. None makes sense to me. Think, again, about what you are trying to say!

Our politicians are experts in earning

Name, fame but without shame

Indeed our citizens don’t believe in casting vote but to vote castes

Our heart says ‘peace of society’ should prevail but our mind says ‘piece(s) of humans in the name of religion’ again invoked by the so called guardians of the democracy our politicians.

Kindly tell me how you find this an*m*d do check it for grammar,. I am (awry) worried about the last paragraph; does it sound correct?

Amigos4.: This is a satirical takeoff, and the first 'quotes' were intended as is, I'm sure.
