There is always a euphoria on the coming elections in India ---whether its National or State. With the Delhi elections round the corner, I am reminded of a poem very apt for the occasion.
Here I bring my manifesto , O voters be merry,
The tree of your desire will yield blooms and berries...
I am an independent fighter ,banking on my inner stream,
Alone i fight the veteran foes without a guiding team.
Let my rivals boast about their glorious acts and deeds,
I am proud of my cooks , skilled to serve and feed ...
I will gladden every heart, satisfy their need,
I will stop once for all ,the drains of all the streets...
I will brooke no budgetary cuts on cinema songs and commerce,
but when it comes to industry , i will economize...
My sensitive conscience cannot even rest in peace,
unless a water pump is installed in every crooked street...
I will revamp the system ,change the course of life,
And in every voters home a ration card provide...
You have borne heavy taxes for 200 years,
I will give you tax relief ,set you free from fear...
Thinner still will become the clothes of beauties sweet,
Schools will remain closed for seven days a week...
Teachers will draw their salaries for idleness complete,
If students bunk their classes , whom will they teach ?
Conventions of sloth and slump will be reinforced ,
Youngsters will adorn themselves with hair,touching the toes...
Police station will be abolished ,lock-ups will stay,
why should an additional nuisance on our hearts prey...
Come On these are elections we do idolize,
gives a lot to gossip and time to shred...
