Up On The Rise... Poem by Kesav Venkat Easwaran

Up On The Rise...



Figures inflation Indian
Rise now towards eleven
Economic reformation
Falls from cloud nine?

The culprit- tell theoreticians-
Cruel crude oil Persian
Make us, the laymen, drink
Incurable lie potion!

Nation's general election
Enters the scene this year,
The fight- to lose or win
Majority in Parliament

Summer winter severe rain-
Demand for vote citizens'
Grows afresh up once again
Now on the national horizon

Money is the main ammunition
To gain victory certain
Remains its ill-aimed distribution
Unchecked nil-forbidden

timely. its all about politics and vote banks. but the apathy of the so called intelligentia, who never go out to vote and merely criticise from their ivory towers is disgusting. well written Kesav

Sad, we live in a nation where idiots are ruling and intelligent idiots are supporting. That's why democracy becomes 'demo-crazy'!
