Politely Politics Poem by Manjeshwari P MYSORE

Has anyone ever wondered about politics?
Don't talk of ethics but fancy antics

Power is what all Politicians seek
They know to fool around and play meek

Position is what holds them firm
They want to rule and run a long term

Party is what they call their group
They want everyone else to stoop

Well, Politics is a game of tricks and gimmicks
The Clever Ones know the Right ticks and clicks

Every Vote counts if it's for the Right pick
Just as the Right Medicine works for the sick

Most Politicians don't know Art, Science and Math
We don't expect King, Saint, Genius or Polymath

Politicians can change anything even before We can blink
Watch them pose, Smile, frown, talk, laugh, cry and wink

Politicians like to be merry, talk, eat and drink
They rule the rules, pretend, no matter What We think

They know how to run the show
Their supporters fill the first row

They bake News like cake, We Never Know What's Real Or Fake
They act confused, Don't make a mistake, it's their best take

Power, Prestige, Property are mainly held in their names
They know to win their way, they play all sorts of games

Manipulation, Misuse, Monopoly are What haunt the Public
People want freedom, faith, fairness, Democracy and Republic

Gadgets, Garbage, Guns are loading every mind, state
We all know the Truth and Factual Truth needs no debate

Education, Experience, Expertise can't match Crooked Politicians
They stun Us, fool Us, win Elections by fine actions and reactions

Confuse, Confront, Convince are their game-changing acts
They never care to render the Truth, Justice or Facts

Money, Media, Mafia are their Prime cards for Mass manipulation
Corruption is something common man must discard without hesitation

Every Leader is a representative, must work, not blow his own trumpet
Every citizen must be wise, Good and responsible, not be a puppet

Loyalty, Legacy, Liberty must be unbiased and for general Good
All People deserve Decent Livelihood, Shelter, Water and Food

Peace, Prosperity, Protection must be Key Focus, Unity main agenda
Gender Equality, Equal Opportunity for all in reality, not propaganda

Class, Color, Community discrimination will destroy a Nation
Honest, Humble, Hard-working Politicians will build a Nation.
