Democracy— A Hapless Bride Poem by Aniruddha Pathak
Democracy— A Hapless Bride
Wedding scene— a hapless Hindu bride:
The groom side boasting of gain landslide,
Groom feeling fabulous,
Bride side: they cheated us,
A bride whilst still alive, all but died.

Someone compared democracy like an Indian bride. This ditty elaborates how she might be feeling.

Not only is this a rousing limerick, its an insightful metaphor of our modern dilemma, democracy has become an hapless victim condemned to be overthrowing by showboating hucksters. As you neatly declare we are all cheated from this system, one that has corrupted by the mechanisms of rampant capitalism and demagoguery. Our choices in grooms become less savoury. A Big 10!
Thank you indeed, Kevin Patrick, for your well-articulated feedback. I feel systems perse are fine, the question is, how they are handled. Even communism makes some good points. Capitalism too is abused. And so is democracy.
