Election End

Politicians here politicians there,

There are politicians everywhere,

Some promise jobs, others assure food,

While a few are genuine, majority of them are shrewd

 

They're visible only during voting times,

You can see them grinning from ear to ear,

What lies behind these deceptive smiles,

Is their reality which we, the helpless people, fear!

 

Elections are over now; they’ve disappeared yet again

Who comes into power is all they’re interested in,

The promises made will drown with the rain,

While we continue to suffer, their bank accounts will gain!

 

All parties apparently work for the common man,

Their swanky cars, however, portray a different image,

When calamity strikes, they’re the first to flee,

Making shoddy attempts to douse public rage.

 

We’ve voted for someone; we’ve done our bit,

On blind trust, we’ve given our vote,

All we can do now is just helplessly sit

And welcome the new captain of India’s boat

Very well written lads :)
Now this sounds more like your usual self.

But I don't like the ending... I don't see why we the people, have to sit helplessly. There's sooo much we can do and demand. We are more to blame than those shady politicians because we choose to wait around for a change to come instead of being that change ourselves. I know it's easier said than done.. but every great story has to begin SOMEWHERE right? :)
