The Way It Works Poem by Venkatesh Raghava

Although India has a democratic government
Few state governments are corrupt
The complaints of the people
Is of no avail for elected representatives of the people.

A minister was on a visit to a town
To, one of his statue to unveil,
The road on his journey was filled with potholes
On the bumpy ride at his PA, he smiled.

He said, “Today in this town by my statue,
I would be known forever,
So why to this potholes I should bother.
His PA replied, “But people here had made
you remembered forever,
By allocating the name to the largest pothole in your favour!
