Democracy Demands Poem by Rajnish Manga

Democracy Demands

Rating: 5.0


Bhagwant Mann and Derek O'Brian
Are sitting Members of Parliament-
One in Lok Sabha, one in Rajya Sabha
Both of them are in politics now
I've seen them in their old avatars
As a Punjabi comic and a Quiz Master
We have seen a transition of roles
Likewise engineers, pilots, bankers
Lawyers, doctors and professors,
Cricketers-athletes join politics
They must prove their prowess as MPs
through issues or debates on floor
Through improving the quality of life
in their respective constituencies
Rather than to remain blind-folded
Or a blind follower of some leader/s

So many politicians had very different, often famous, lives before parliament-like these two men. To be a comedian could be a good background. I did read somewhere that Sachin is in the Senate.

You are cent percent correct Rajnishji.. People from different walks of life join politics considering it their haven of a retire life. This should chage, they must take it serious a field for the sake of our Mother Nation....Top score

Very true. When someone assumes the role of a Representative of public (MLA, MP MLC) they must behave like representatives and put across the problems without getting carried away by the fancy of any leader. You nailed all of them with this beautiful poem.100***
