Who I Am Going To Vote For Poem by Akhtar Jawad

Who I Am Going To Vote For

Rating: 5.0


Should I vote for a monetarily corrupt?
Who took loans from IMF to pay the installments of the loans,
no I can't.
Should I vote for a religiously corrupt?
Who supports the killings of the terrorists,
no I can't.
Should I vote for a politically corrupt?
who changes his political party every year like calendars,
no I can't.
Should I vote for an ethnically corrupt?
Who burnt the city in the fire of hate,
no I can't.
The list is long,
let me sum up Mr. Surveyor,
if I have to choose one of the corrupts,
I shall vote for one who is sexually corrupt,
I know he loves to change his women,
on regular intervals,
but I am an old man of seventy plus,
I am not afraid of being sexually abused!

In most cases, you can only vote for what is 'offered'. That takes a lot of money and connections. I have neither. Most of our leaders have both.

When all the politicians are tainted with dishonesty and corruption, we have to choose the lesser evil but can deliver results. In this poem, the Poet' s choice is right. A wonderful poem with a tinge of humor.10++++

Giving vote is right of a citizen of any nation. When a voter realizes that abuses and bad activities are done by political leaders this brings agony sadness and provokes thought. Then voter thinks that to whom he should chose as leader and vote to rule the nation. This poem is very sensitive, amazing and thought provoking...10
