Good morning!
FATHER- SON PARTIES
incurable bane of India's politics
flies in the face of morals and ethics
a party is cobbled on caste
vote bank is nurtured to ensure it lasts
reins are firmly in family's hands
loyalty must, within coterie to land
at right time, reins go from father to son
daughters brainwashed and given, crumbs
in their own homes, gender injustice virulent
to empower women, it seems their minds are not bent
populism fine tuned to win votes
show of appeasement- one surely notes
good governance, sound economics
who wants these but heretics?
hidden agenda: to amass family wealth
through power, by hook, crook or by stealth
brazen criminals rarely caught
Laluji jailed, but were lessons taught?
such parties are excellent doctoral topics
for this disease, no vaccine is specific
