Better Days gimmick. Poem by Nabakishore Dash

Better Days gimmick.

Rating: 5.0


Promise of better days ahead
is only a gimmick for motivating
the voters for power and position.
Is practised by all politicians
in stormy weather
of National election.

Vows made in violence
are soon violated
for voluminous reasons
that made them unviable.
Evaluated calmly
it is stupidity to trust
in such vain words,
logically untrue, impossible.

The whole body is healthy
when individual organs function
aseptic and clean.
How do we aspire finer days
when our mind, work, behaviour
are consciously
malicious and unclean.

We have to endure the worse,
fight to overpower the ills
to welcome the
happier sunny days.
Individual honesty and integrity,
not any one's assurance,
would inch us
close to the gate ways.

Amending the rules, regulations
in our constitution and judiciary
to enforce stricter ones
would utterly fail.
Brighter days will
smile on us
only if our mind-set
undergoes a transition
or we trail, trail and trail.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Better days would be possible only if we all work together honestly.

If you are a representative of someone, carry on but take care that many arrows don't hurt you

You write something different. Don't be part of politics here. You don't know anything... observe things silently before writing anything.

Right of suffrage must be exercised rightfully so that one must be able to choose those representatives of the government that will have the agenda for the betterment and protection for all people.
