The Tragicomedy Poem by nimal dunuhinga

The Tragicomedy

Rating: 5.0


I do not get surprised
if a dumb sings in the paradise.
My surprise is how these politicians
sing under the hot sun?
I do not get surprised
if a blind sees in the heaven.
My surprise is how these hypocrites
see the poor people before the elections?
Alas! they crawl to the slums
and give promises to the cripples
that they can walk in the sky.
They act as deafs after the victory.
But we are the blind fools
who have daydreams of a dazzlement.

Promises are made to be broken in politics. The deceivers and those who are deceived change little from age to age.. There is more tragedy than comedy in this. Very thoughtful poem, Nimal. Sandra

Nimal, elections certainly have a way of bringing out the best in a politician, but after the elections over, unfortunately, we end up with their worst. Good points... well done! ! Brian
