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.

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

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

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!

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! !
