Choose The Lesser Evil One! Poem by Ramesh T A

Canvassing of candidates for winning in the election is on;
On and on the heat of propaganda is reaching high pitch;
Pitch is so high that it seems to excel summer heat too;
Too much of anything is good for nothing at the end sure!

Sure all political parties are of same fiber soaked in pond;
Pond itself is dirty and how can anyone choose the best of it?
It is easy to reject all with a single press of NOTA button;
Button is readily waiting on voting machine for people to press!

Press any symbol of candidate, vote will be polled in one's favour;
Favour one may do for a like minded candidate, but none is good;
Good persons are rare to find in politics as he will not like it;
It is the arena of the down to earth type hard core personalities!

Personalities of top calibre are out of place in politics now;
Now one has to be chosen to save democracy though it's lesser evil!
