Am I Irresponsible Poem by Samanyan Lakshminarayanan

Am I Irresponsible

Rating: 5.0


[read 'a vote for 49 O' before this]

A vote for 49 [o]
was it irresponsible?
it was'nt even a suggestion
i was just telling you the provision...and
it was'nt out of irresponsibility
it was out of helplessness

DEMOCRACY IS OUR ONLY SAVIOUR
AND FOR DEMOCRACY TO BE SAFER
THIS IS OUR ONLY MEASURE

Donot waste your vote
vote for the best and be safer
a thief and a killer come to pole
am i to consider the thief the safer

WHO SAID I WASTED MY VOTE
DEMOCRCY SHOWS UP ONLY DURING VOTE
AFTER I VOTE...
I LOOSE MY SAY IN THE WHOLE

I DONOT WANT TO CHOOSE BETWEEN A THIEF AND A KILLER
I KNOW INDIANS ARE A LOT BETTER

what i really want is
i want a leader
who does'nt care for power
i want a leader
who is just not a seller

IF A INVESTOR FOR VOTES...LOST
SINCE I DID NOT VOTE
I WILL FEEL HAPPY

NOT VOTING FOR A PERSON
MAKING MY VOTE
A VALID INVALID VOTE
IS THE SMALL PUISHMENT
I COULD GIVE
TO THESE INVALID PEOPLE

In a democracy it is a collective decision that plays a vital role. Every citizen is responsble for the formation of a good government. But here the money power and muscle power only decide the government, which is an unfortunate situation in the country.

If everybody had the same feeling as you, the world would have better long ago. There is every reason for us to stay away from voting. Let us forget the poor class. Even the educated lot is intellectually fighiting in the name of parties- we can hear the debate in our office dining rooms. This is the tragic situation. Let us pray for the transformation of mind of our leaders. Collective prayers have enough force but who exercises this? We have to reflect on the subject.
