Temple Of Democracy Poem by Ratnakar Mandlik
Temple Of Democracy
Human conceptualized the best Polity
For superb governance, is the democracy
That ensures for every one equal opportunity
Desisting in any form rule of any dynasty.
Legislature, judiciary, bureaucracy n press
Are four pillars on which rests its' edifice.
Most sacred sanctum is the Parliament
Of its' temple n it is not for entertainment.
Honesty, integrity, empathy and sincerity
Be qualifications for a Parliamentarian
Not less than a priest to be for egalitarian
Society's inception and benefit to majority.
A pious duty on every one it entrusts
To ensure the qualifications, in him they must.
Poet: Ratnakar D Mandlik
Honesty, integrity, empathy and sincerity Be qualifications for a Parliamentarian Even if we have a few good guys, what can they do in the corrupt democracy of India and other countries of such nature! ! We want the best but we have all evils!
A lovely depiction of government of the people, by the people, and for the people. A well articulated piece of poetry, nicely encapsulated and insightfully penned with conviction. A beautiful poem with good rhyme scheme. Thanks for sharing Ratnakar. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.
More than 2000 years passed concept of democracy has come but still democracy is facing hardship of getting true representative.Perhaps it is due to lack of consciousness. Beautifully and honestly penned. Thanks so much for sharing. Regards.
