Party Politics Poem by Sankhajit Bhattacharjee

I joined a political party,
my ideology forced me to do so.
Not a single cadre respected ideology,
the power mongers sought the first row.

The president came and told me,
'Be my party cadre'.
He failed thrice in B.A., I was a research fellow.
Why should I waste my time there!

I resigned, vowed not to rejoin,
social work will be my aim.
I will work more than a politician-
power will never utter, 'Shame, shame'!

I love political ideology, not party politics;
I love honest dedication, not corrupted tricks.
