Haiku 18 - Democracy Poem by Parameswaran Nair Damodaran Nair
Haiku 18 - Democracy
Voting in jungle;
Foxes and jackals contest,
Hyenas give support! !
This is a fantastic Senryu. Lately Democracy seems to have become a farce.!
Thank you very much Savitaji. I am very much hurt by the dimnishing values of democracy. Of late I learn that anything and everything launched with noble purpose are manipulated by man to satisfy his selfish interests
Sarcastic way of presentation, indian election........ thank u dear Parameswaran thank u. again dear poet., tony
Thank you dear Tony. Every election creates in me a pool of anxiety. My soul sink down in it
Such a nice Haiku! An absolute true picture of democracy with foxes, jackals and Hyenas. A full vote.....10
Thank you very much Geetha Menon. Democracy is loosing it's intended greatness in the hand of Jackals, foxes and Hyenas. I am thoughtful of the future of the nation
Election has become a stupid game of cheating people with false promises! Unfortunately most of the contestants when raised to power stoop to the level of wild beasts! People are not capable of choosing the grain from the chaff.Thus voting has become an exercise in futility! Great Haiku!
Thank you Valsa George. My soul is so much hurt by the fall of the values of democracy which we all acceted with great expectatrions. People have lost their ability to see the realities and the more th ey are misled by lies and unfulfilled promises

Oh, this is formidably, excellent! The 'heroes of Democracy" , depicted as what they really are! ''Foxes, jackals and hyenas" But the Skunks re missing, oh, that probably must be because the are already in power. This is an anti-political masterpiece in 3 lines, AMAZING! There are not enough 10s for this.
Thank you very much Sandra Feldman. As you have said we are made to writw in this way by the manipulated democratic system where the politicians work towards their own personal interest creating fake image of themselves and untrue opinion ofothers
