Romance With Democracy -7 Poem by Ratnakar Mandlik

Romance with democracy, divorce with conscience
National interests get eclipsed with the negligence.
Free hand is enjoyed by nepotism and favouritism,
Ineptness and inefficient in bureaucracy blossom.

Worthy are sidelined their intellect is rusted,
Morale of the yesmen is enormously boosted.
Their inaptitude indecision bleeds the nation,
Who cares, when the romance is in progression.

Custodians conspire plunder of national wealth,
To the dogs goes the economy and nathions health.
Being reserved are the prisons for the gentlemen,
Who prided for being parts of the ruling clans.

Judiciary had to come at last for the rescue,
To preserve nationalism using a special glue.

Poet: Ratnakar D Mandlik
