Why do you
pretend?
Why these
din and cry?
Why waste
our lives?
Just order
us to die.
You slug it
out in house,
You speak
and debate,
Trading in
the charges,
Bartering
the blames.
You fool a
billion idiots,
You ain’t
any Einstein,
And yet you
take for ride,
A billion
brilliant minds.
But are we
any brilliant,
Or just on
ego trip,
You pour the
oil in path,
We see, we
walk and slip.
We slip, we
pass the blame,
We fight it
out, we tweet,
Updating our
status,
As you
satisfy your greed.
We follow
like a sheep,
Bleating how
we are great,
In nothing
we exist,
You mock our
sorry fate.
And plead we
today,
Just tell us
we are slaves,
Rip our
throats and drink,
Our blood
you want to taste.
But stop
this damn theatre,
Enough of
twinkling lies,
Tell us we
are doomed,
Only
politicians deserve a life.
The best part about your writing is the weaving of words in a wonderful lyrical thread.
ReplyDeleteWhatever the topic, you are perfect at expressing your thoughts in a clear way and that is the quality of a good writer.
The angst, the shock, the irritation is justified but I believe that not only poliicians, it is the case with everyone in India today. Actors, celebs, cricketers, novelists, everyone wants to take the audience for a ride and it is we, the aam aadmi, common man who is projected as 'most intelligent' but ends up being fooled always !!
My opinion.
Well written :)) Keep writing.
