And after the landslide, there’s a slide,
A bride won, but honeymoon denied,
Wonted magic on wane,
Patience as ends in pain,
Promises made, performance belied.
____________________________________________________
This is what the third consecutive by-election seems to say
on the ruling party’s performance. A lot of promises were
made during the recent parliamentary elections. The people
tired of erstwhile regime’s pathetic performance gave the
alternative a thumbs–up with a landslide victory. But after
more than 100 days the regime has little to show on the
promises made, and people’s patience is wearing thin. No
wonder, the poll has turned a punishing pole.

Pain! ! Honeymoon denied! ! ! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
As long as the voters remain gullible, politicians would get away with vague promises. Today, after the whole election cycle, second election is won largely on promises, and performance is yet to be seen. But then the opposition is even worse, no alternative. Thanks for visiting
