Indian Political Circus

Politics is a filthy game as they say,

Dirtiness is the mantra come what may,

Some say it is bharat nirman, some say as india rising,

All that they manage to rise is,
Few numbers in bank balance and inflation index.

Helpless and hopeless is what a common man feels,

Struggling and fighting all day to earn even two meals,

Every election outcome looks ever so same,
Nothing changes, and nation is put to the shame.

How can i write on indian politics without a mention about corruption,
You pay some money and your work will go through without disruption.

We have gunman MPs and rapist MLAs,
 Crime and cowardliness is just in their DNA,

A trip to a jail, may just be an entry pass to their ticket for election,
Some media coverage and newspaper headlines might just seal their selection.

Everyone comes at price tag, including the media,
You share some wealth and your propaganda is throughout India

The nation looks at the parliament with utter disdain,
Everyone prays and hopes for the end of this pain,
Nation is sold just to make some personal gain,
Tax payer's hardwork goes totally in vain.

Many like me feel country needs a revolution,
But to begin with, people's mindset needs a evolution,
Everyone needs to make a strong mental resolution,
Thats how you build a successful and strong nation.
