Divide And Rule Policy In Family Too! Poem by Ramesh T A

Divide and rule policy not only in politics but also
In joint family so called experienced elders use to
Control all members as they wish by partial love to
Their pet members at the cost of other members ever!

Split in the joint family continues and they use it
Sheer clear the family ship according to their will;
Whatever the pet members do are supported by elders
To stop noisy fights among themselves now and then!

Taking advantage of the elders partiality, the pet
Ones dominate others by spreading false opinions
About the members they don't like or others who are
Not falling in line with their diktats in the circle!

Death of the elders only exposes the tricks of the
Pet ones to the world and all then chide them with
All possible tirades against them and change their
Line of support to the other deserving ones later!
