Betrayal Of Trust Poem by AFFAQ NABI

O, pity betide you Politicians—-so false
Whose lips promise you golden futures,
Inwardly in their hearts, selfish interest sways,
While nepotism's dark shadow scores the runs.
Their vows mere hollow whispers, lacking truth,
Echo through the halls of power and might.
Their faces, masks that cloak their cunning guise
And you know, favoritism corrupts all in sight.
Their yes-men flock, with gainful hopes aflame,
And for their masters' glory, they do partake
In shameful deeds, that dishonor would claim.
What they pledge to you, but never make.
And some die for them, in vain devotion,
A tragic fate born from the false emotion.
