DEMISE OF DEMOCRACY
It’s time again to show your strength
Beat your own drums
Blow your trumpets
With false promises
Assure them with non-assurances
They are forgetful fools
Never remember Nandigram, Singur,
Godhra, Mumbai, Parliament or Trade-Centre
Throw away some doles
They will be happy
Or some free poppy-seeds for boozing
This is nothing but electioneering
They tend to forget past
History, records of their leaders
Because they are valuable voters
Criminals scam-stars frauds
All are welcome in this bandwagon
Even if the party fails, they win in tons
The largest democracy or the greatest
All are passing through a test
Why so many bankruptcy, failures
Still they continue their tenures
One great leader once said, ‘democracy is
Of the people, by the people, for the people”
This is now turned into
“Of the fools, by the fools, for the fools.”
