A vivid and brilliant depiction of corruption and its effects on society. Corruption always takes a country into darkness. The people must be vigilant and strong to fight against this evil.
great writing on the political exploitation yeah the frailty is the virgin power of now-a-days so called democracy! !
Thank you Mahtab. When our minds becomes hurt by the greed and deception the politicians adopt how can we keep silent?
A recreation of the typical present day politics and the so called democracy- Of the people, By the people, and For the people. And assigned to it some humour significance. Congrats! !
Thank you Leela Kumari, the present day politics is a foolery
Whipping criticism on the politicians who beg votes for them from the people and end up as selfish rulers who only give misery to them.The poet draws the picture of a poor woman who lost her house for road widening and the minister does nothing to pay the compensation due to her. Finally she dies in the 9th ward of the hospital as a destitute patient and the Minister turns up there to offer condolence with crocodile tears! ! A true picture of current politicians! !
Thank you my friend. Voters must think about the situation seriously
The poet offers a us a peep towards dirty politicians who climb up the ladder by many shoulders of common man by giving false promises and stamps on them after reaching the blind dark skies of richness and luxury on greed of undeserving money and power. AS WE HAVE HEARD AND THESE SO CALLED VULTURES HAVE NOT... WITH GREAT POWER COMES GREATER RESPONSIBILITIES! ! ! ! .
I wonder why more people are not coming forward to comment on this poem. It is about the corrupt politics and its social impact
True...it is what actually happened in our society....A satire...
Today's democratic image is badly mutilated by political over- interference. Things are decided over by them according to their interest and commitments regardless of democratic values
True...it is what actually happened in our society....A satire...

This poem very tastefully depicts government corruption, a clear message which can be found not only in India, but throughout the entire world.

It depicts the most dangerous evil of our country-'The corruption' in a touching way.

Powerful, incisive and meaningful write on dirty politics. This story must be read by all. A hard lesson that must be remembered when we cast our votes! People must use their power of suffrage against corruption.
