A reader’s expression on the current political scenario
February 19, 2017
Today’s politics has become a stinky gutter,
Corrupt officials taking office causing a clutter;
They are going to rule ignorant lives,
And terrorize all by forming perilous hives;
Wrong has become the new right,
Right has plunged into the dark vicious night;
There is no sign of the divine avatars,
To save the people from the political charades;
Such is the state of our administration,
Proceeding in the path of damnation;
Will truth and justice ever prevail?
Who will abolish this barbarous veil?
— Sathyaa Rajesh
