** The Politician ** Poem by ANJALI SINHA

** The Politician **

Rating: 4.7


Politician pouncing
with a mike on podium
Born on a dark dense night
Held in a jail
for murder and extortion
Planning to increase
earth’s plight.

‘End of world
misery is nigh’
Said the man
sans more
To raise
the world high
he was born,
he swore

There will be
no hunger and poverty
and forever
cessation of grief
There will be
no rape and robbery
Loudly declared the thief.

Thus unknowingly
hastening everlasting day
for night is darkest
before dawn, Anjali says

YOU DISCLOSE THE TRUE NATURE OF THE POLITICIAN. YOUR POEM GIVES THE MESSAGE: POLITICIANS FOR: ' BUY THE PEOPLE, FOX THE PEOPLE AND OFF THE PEOPLE ' HEY ANJU AM I RIGHT?

'Thus unknowingly hastening everlasting day for night is darkest before dawn, Anjali says' I loved the last part of this one..... if Anjali says I ll take these things to granted... this poem is different isn't it? .... i used to think you write all love stories, but this one got Anjali flavor written all over it? ..... But seems like you are very mature when it comes to these things too! ! ! ! ! with lots of love shan

I like this verse so much I think it could stand on its own as a poem: 'There will be no hunger and poverty and forever cessation of grief There will be no rape and robbery Loudly declared the thief.'
