Playing The Same Old Game! Poem by Ramesh T A

Government cannot run sans bureaucratic coordination
In cooperation with it for all policies and promises!
But bureaucratic interference in individual liberty
Spoils beauty and greatness of democracy of a nation!

If it so happens, it is only a fascist dictatorship
Rule which is worse than direct emergency rule sure!
Without cleaning one's own house, there is no point
In criticizing about the cleanliness of others ever!

Leaving the big thief to go Scot-free, it is not fair
To introduce strict measures to punish small offenders!
Even in implementation, first government machinery
should be corrupt-less before eradicating it everywhere!

Majority of poor people cannot know of this high drama
And support the rhetoric of gullible political leaders
To win in the elections and come to power to continue
The fascist rule still more arrogantly only sans progress!

Then there is no point in praising democracy and doing
The same old nonsense to hoodwink the people as fools!
