Create Leaders Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Create leaders
Sunday,5th January 2020

Who will create leaders?
and restore
the confidence
that is lost at once

who has made politicians?
or musicians
who make us dance
when get the chance for office

we, the people, are corrupt
and breed the corruption
then complain about the system
and later on curse them

we give them vote
when it is sought on caste, color and creed
where is the need?
when we, ourselves, cater the greed

we corrupt them
by giving some money to expedite
and delight self
that it has been done for parting money from the shelf

duties and rights go together
but freedom of speech doesn't mean you utter
or express anything even if that amounts dishonor and
undignified speech involved in the matter

leadership means lots of money
that is wish of everybody
and we have given them the free hand with key
let us be prepared for messy things
