# An Indian Political Situation

Rating: 2.8


Unlike all the other
countries around
we find a strange
sprouting of parties here
from start to end
from top to bottom
nobody...absolutely none
have any policy or diplomacy
since there is no leader
who can hold every one together
every one wants to be a leader
in a country which is so diverse
in caste religion and language
it becomes easy for these leaders
to use their axe to make another split
A seperate identity...flag and following
with just the same motive in mind
to be in power.....
Even the most educated one in politics..only
plays this dirty game
Even the most honest person in politics...only
plays this dirty game
just to be in power
party and power becomes the priority

The past president and the present PM
are the best examples..to show
what putting up means
as a common man i really do not have a choice
the system has made them one like me..
the past president left his presidential house
with just two suitcases
one had his dresses....
the other his books
the present PM will also do the same
HOPE TOO WILL SILENTLY WALK OUT WITH HIM

When MAHATMA was in a tight corner
when he had to make a crucial decision
as a leader he would say
I USED TO LISTEN TO MY INNER VOICE
Conscience....
it has been silenced for good in INDIAN POLITICS

You have rightly pointed out today's plight.Lack of Consciousness is the reason. As the King so the Subjects. People are increasingly becoming Herd. Especially, Tamil Nadu is the Trend Setter. It really pains. The politicians never worry what will be in store for them when they leave abode. May be Millions of Births as rewards?

The Indian Politics is sickening to see. Less speak about it, better, as it creates vomitings.

Where was Mahatma, where was 'inner voice'. Our politics has traveled a long way from that; .................into thick muck of selfishness......a good poem Sankar.

An Indian Political Situation-according to your poem-is international political situation-in my opinion- thus your country's issues are more similar than different. Man's [human] ultimate goal is to dominate. domination=power=money and every things else is not consdered, However, goverments/socities keep that pacifier[ religion] in our mouth thats keeps us pacified and quiet while the powers that be pillage their country-and others too. While we're nursing and napping.Good write. Again, your well written poem speaks of people around the world.Thanks for the reawakening We're experiencing our own[ US} political situation namely, the health care issue that was just signed into law a few hours ago.The anger and hate that I've seen the past several months is baffleing.a 10
