It's For Show Poem by Asit Kumar Sanyal

We all talk about poverty
talk about its cure
and eradication
we talk about empowerment of woman
their financial freedom
reservation in jobs
can you say me honestly
how many people work for it
or worked earlier?
Yes, our state and union govts do this
but it's for show
they cut its roots first
then pour water on top
They make plan in such a way
neat result becomes zero
because in democracy
Poor people are the game changers
Govts. give them free ration
free electricity, free water
for getting their votes.
