‘I give you - a free and prosperous nation’
Screamed the khadi clad hero
But if we were to believe him,
Our bank accounts would just read - zero
It is amazing that there is more
than one idiot making the same promises
But everything he gives us is returned
to him with interest, Oh blazes!
He is a wonderful accountant,
He writes budgets that serve your every whim
Less than ten percent of the total
expenditure is for us,- the rest is for him
But no income tax officer can trap him,
for he is absolutely prolific
And that is democracy for you;
Every man has his right to steal, Terrific!
He is never honest, I’d rather
trust a cunning and scheming magician
Lie, but do it with guile,
you are a qualified professional politician
He eliminates his enemies easily
With an iron hand, his rogues prevail
That is the irony of democracy;
Huh! you chose one to no avail
They keep making us vote for them,
we fail to call their - bullshit
And we are proud to live in the
greatest democracy, that’s the beauty of it
