Mr. Politician

When most mortals succumb to temptation,

Then why do we expect poor Mr. Politician to be an exception?

When government coffers are open for him,

Then why should he bother about idealistic whims?



When for everything sumptuous, he has developed a taste,

Then why shouldn’t he utilize the funds raised by the state?


When for winning in the elections, he had pretended to be a loving husband and a caring father,

Then why shouldn’t he satisfy his wily wife, salacious son and domineering daughter?


When he has to pay for his son’s debauchery and find a billionaire for his daughter to marry,

Then why shouldn’t the loving daddy, use the common man’s hard earned money?


When he has to buy his wife expensive jewelry for her to look good on ‘Page 3’

Then why shouldn’t he manipulate state machinery?


When he needs money not only to maintain his mistress but also to silence her, when she causes distress,

Then why shouldn’t the worried man, use public funds and relieve himself of the stress?


So, when most mortals succumb to temptation,

Then why do we expect poor Mr. Politician to be an exception?

When government coffers are open for him,

Then why should he bother about idealistic whims?

Early in the morning,

Early in the morning, the earth seems to be lost in a reverie deep,

And most menacing mortals are asleep.

The birds start chirping, the dogs start barking,

And a benign breeze keeps blowing.



Early in the morning, ferns and flowers are draped in due drops,

And silence surrounds homes and haunts, shambles and shops.

The air is free from smoke and smog,

And everything is enveloped in a freshening layer of fog.



Early in the morning, machines and man-made structures,

And also, their callous creators, seem to be one with nature.

There is no noise of either mirth or mutiny,

And the world seems to be in perfect harmony.

Once upon a time, in a village called ‘Melody',

Lived a boy called Rhymee Rhapsody.

He loved music, dance and poetry,

And was certain that becoming a singer, was his destiny.



All the people that Rhymee met,

Had to bear his ‘singing' talent.

Melodians ran away whenever they saw him coming,

For nobody liked Rhymee's untrained singing.



Rhymee's poor parents didn't have enough money,

To send him to a music academy.

He was trained to become a motor mechanic instead,

That was how the aspiring singer started earning his bread.



Despite many remarks scathing,

Rhymee never stopped singing.

Years of practice, improved his voice quality,

And listening to trained singers, developed his sense of melody.



One day a well known musician came to his workshop,

And Rhymee's singing impressed him a lot.

The musician needed a singer for the national radio,

So he invited Rhymee to his recording studio.



Resolute Rhymee was rewarded for his grit,

The radio show was a huge hit.

Soon he became the star, he aspired to be

And people loved listening to Rhymee Rhapsody
