Moral Obligation Or Necessary

It is said that "a Ballot is stronger than a Bullet".

But in today's date, a Bullet chases a Ballot.

Yes ..voting is a democratic right of every citizen

What makes them refrain from taking a decision?

Elections belong to the people,

and Voting gives them a right to protection,

Knowing this well, many don't come out to vote in rejection.

The system doesn't support the person, that I choose to tote 

So, I don't see any reason to cast my vote.

In a constantly changing Demography of ours,

Democracy is nothing but a farce.

A Govt of the people, by the people, and for the people 

But the fact is, it is run only by 'THOSE FEW' people 

Countless political parties and sub-parties thrive like mushrooms 

Only because the strong forces decide when to strike or bring doom 

Come Election time and common man becomes a God 

For every party member from big to small, is ready for the 'Fraud' 

Lies, Cheating, and Promising Heaven to the poor and middle class,

He himself overnight becomes a man of 'High Class', 

Going around slums and shanties providing SOPS' and SHOTS' unlimited 

Or wads and wads of money stuffed in people's shirts and pockets fitted.

No one asks where they got the Dough' from and the Goodies too,

No one tells., how they became so richly handsome in overnight's dew  

Ruling party or the Opposition,

Allied ones or the Independent proposition,

All in the same boat, wooing and cooing the innocent and gullible some 

If only they were such good Samaritans I bet, we sure would have been respected Indians.

A country with a Rich Culture, a Grand Heritage,

A beautiful land of resources so mismanaged 

Why should I vote for these Looters ??

Whose only aim is to sound like Hooters !!

As a responsible citizen, I need to vote 

But in such a kind of Election how do I cast my vote.

I wish everybody selects the NOTA

I wish we do away with the QUOTA

Wish they streamline the STRATA 

Stop muddling with the DATA 

And bring forth a ROTA 

A system to function and sustain a ministry,

In a country like ours, a cauldron of cultural diversity ..
