A verse on the existing tragic situation

 

Instead of peacefully fighting for a cause,

Or waging a battle against an enemy force,

Terrorists are born to bomb, kill, and kidnap innocent neighbours,

Less for the cause and more for the terrorists’ power and prosperity,

And that of their top leadership, which enjoys life in foreign countries.

I see a similarity here during election contests,

Parties kidnap voters through destructive bribing weapons,

Like distribution of cash, liquor, and obvious enticement through freebies and sops,

At the cost of good administration and development and bankruptcy,

Just for the ‘power and prosperity’ of the greedy party leaders and their coterie.
