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?
