(I)
Pre-power;
Decades of ultimate defamation,
Spit on each other are in action.
Storyteller of hatred fairy tales,
Esteem so cheap like year end sales.
Post-power;
Making endless claims of all sorts,
Dry taxpayers blood in comfort.
Filling pockets with a lot of dirt,
Everyone does; it will not hurt.
Retire of power;
Let postpone for a decade or two,
Be patient, successor is whose who.
Good players are rare to find,
Continuity of heritage is pre-defined.
(II)
I wonder why, you are bold
Down under; the narrow hole
With no power to hold
Have you ever been told?
Rhythmic and well built poem with a solid structure in every stanza. This is a very sharp critique towards politician which i believe will stop at nothing to get the control button among people. They want to rule longer and deeper than people expected but at the end.... they are just a human; bound to die. Excellent and your words will make them cry..! ! !

I would like to translate this poem
A good write up about the mal - practices in the society. A noble attempt to open them up to the mass.
