Vote! Vote! Vote! ,the colourful poster sings ,
tempting poor to choose the one,
who promise to give better life.
The promises are forgotten as soon as,
their chosen gets the chair that gives him,
the power he had desired for so long
“ We will turn Bangalore into Singapore, Mumbai into New York
and UP into California; but don’t forget to vote;”
chants the leaders of every political party
The roads are smooth and perfect untill
the elections are over,
Voila! The holes on the roads are back
Every new party comes up with the same hopes,
AAP, BJP, Congress, UPA and what not rose up
with new improvised advertisement and faded hopefulness
Development is their last name,
Corruption is their first name,
Power is their middle name
Their forefathers were the ones,
who laid foundation of independent country,
Unfortunately it has become weak in their hands
New changes and economic development is not their concern,
How to increase their pay checks through hard earned money of public,
is what goes in their mind.
Leaders go to foreign location for study tours,
to learn samba and wildlife sighting,
not to learn the art of development from other countries
Words, only words are their tool of manipulation,
but actions go missing in thin air
Alas! We believe their words blindly.
Women security is extincting like the tiger population,
And our so called leaders blame on
the modern era culture without doing anything
Whatever it is, our country has largest democracy,
with lowest voting power
and to top it up ,
exciting lot of leaders with swiss accounts of crores of black money
Wake up leaders!
Our country need you,
We don’t want any California or New York
But a safer and secure country
