Tall claims and vain boasts-
a nation sits in paper-boats
of false vows and fake oaths

Just look at this side: Everything is a lesson in this life, and someone has to learn from them. We can pray to God to clear up the situation, but if He would, there would not be a lesson for many. Anyway, that happens what we are looking for. What we keep our mind on, that is what we see coming. That is why I do not read papers, do not look at the news on the TV, because I know they are so far from me, that that is their life. This is not an easy task, but this is the reason, that I live in harmony, peace and true happiness.
an apt commentary especially on the political situation of your country and generally for all.. i love socio-political poems...kudos to you..
So strong, so true, enough to make grown men cry. Its true of EVERY country sadly. Excellent write.
Aha a remarkable parody of the demagogues hee hee. Im truly impresd pal! Esp d last stanza was so nice.
Oh the dreaded elections, politicians, the best money can buy! A good poem. Thanks
Choose someone that is better, for better future! I am not into politics but we have to vote, it is either we let it be dark or brighter...we are the determinants...to me chose someone who plans for better plan for all and less care about attacking other personal issues..that actually reflect what a good leader about, focus on the national aim not self_Soul
We would all like an honest lead, but they are all benders of the truth. Great write Shahzia.
Such a clever write Shahzia that fits all countries.Our opposition leader has a permanent hand up his back so he doesn't say the wrong thing.A ventriloquist. Thank you
Truth and honesty of political world is in museum the core option of them is corruption, the people in democracy are the most corrupt if they support money, caste, religion, and the dynasty..., corruption for them to cope up the election budget.(aawaam pahale leeder baad me bikate hain) (jaisa praja waisaa raajaa) nice to read the poem thank u
You have depicted a true picture of politics all over the world. I just loved the theme of the poem, the rhyming and the last stanza with the prayer and hope for a change! This only is our dire need Save us from all fraud and cheat Bless us God with honest lead! ! ! It’s a lovely poem. Keep writing!
Wonderfully done! you have given mouth to everyone's feelings here. Wish in the last triplet is the voice of all hearts.It's a realistic approach to the present situation...a great write Shazia I wish your poetry bloom more and more!
Timely representation of facts in verses. Applies both to India (2014) and Pakistan(2013) . Sentiments of a true citizen voiced here. Honest leader are found but few. Three line rhyming stanzas make it a poem to sing too. An exposing poem from your pen, Shahzia.
Poetry after my own heart. Sincere prayer demonstrates the conviction that a good God rules in the affairs of men. Great work, Shahzia!
you have given vent to the existing political scenario all over the world. wonderful job, lady... we need more of this to sensitize peoples :)
stupendous..... Those who're never seen before, begging for votes from door-to-door, on their knees, nay, all their fours, lovely..... prof you written a marvelous piece :)
nice message, , intervention of providence sought in right earnest, , amen..
A very ardent prayer, Shahzia! This is a cross piece of the world scenario! As the elections arrive, new faces appear in new guises, the 'avowed saviors of man and society'. Once throned on the seat of authority, they begin to show their real colors! ! Let us pray together, save us from all fraud and cheat! Greatly enjoyed this beautiful write! !
2 days ahead, plx pray for imran khan: ( the poem is awesome for realism.
