A Burlesque On Politicians Poem by Ratnakar Mandlik
A Burlesque On Politicians
In every walk of life politician is present,
Politics, they say has become omnipresent.
Espoused with the motto of the betterment
Of deprieved classes-their life, s improvement.
Deceit has been made synonym of politics
By the mushroomimg growth of opportunists.
To the deception they nicknamed governance
Ditching worthy they came into prominance.
Master craftsmen they are of coining slogans,
Alluring they may be but full of deception.
When they voice demand of womens reservations,
From inflation they divert every one's attention.
Campaign they launch about India Shining.
Using motley media just for the fooling
Of the common man, their targeted victim,
For which they may go to any extreme.
Remove poverty slogan, they coined once
Steps were then taken not to give any chance
to pull on life, to the poor, with contentment.
Hidden agenda was from life his externment.
Politics is last resort of goons, some one said,
How right he was our politicins have proved.
This dissatisfaction with politician seems to be world wide. How have we reached to that stage is any body's guess but it must change. Great poem. Thanks for letting me know about it and thank you very much for your comment on my haiku.
Ratnakar Mandlik, As long as we assume that politics is the last resort of goons, no one can save us. When are we going to understand that every day of our existence depends upon the political ideology of a country? You have a point.
I read the poem 'A Burlesque on Politicians' by Ratnakar Mandik. It is an excellent poem how the politicians thrive and how people are cheated. Do they come to poltics to serve the county? No, they come to earn. V.K.Kanniappan
