Parliament

 

In Parliament 

Giants clash

Sounds explode

On issues

They claim are

Of national importance!

 

Vital issues lie idle

Under the carpet

Thickly cushioned

They lie buried

Under weighty

Meaningless utterances!

 

Ruling party and opposition

Hurl abuse and criticism

Wasting precious time

On failures of the past

While people await

Answers for questions raised

On vital issues

Of national importance!

 

If people have a choice

They would happily

Refrain from casting

Their votes for ineffective

And inarticulate Politicians!

One wonders if they

Are in Parliament

To line their pockets!

 

Oh! How tragic is it

To keep toppling

Leaders for this reason

Or that while the nation

Waits helplessly for actions

On health, education and economy!

We need you to keep

Nationhood intact, but are you?
