Political Poem




For me writing about politics is a futile exercise,

Since you’ve asked me to write

maybe you care about it, I surmise.



Maybe you thought this would lead to fruitful debates, discussions and the like?

With moderate voices probing the condition of farmers, our borders, our scams

while surrounded by the different rakshaks, sevaks and leaders armed with pikes.



Incompetency and apathy are now worldwide epidemics with no cures in sight.

Cancerous screens bursting with images of protesting streets,

their angst ridden tears and shouts refuse to cease but how long will they fight?



So I think this dose of disillusionment and blunt speak will do you good.

Might save you from epiphanies filled with hopes and dreams

that will break your spirit faster than any fickle romance could.
