Ugadi in Elections

The new Ugadi brings in many a dream

But this year it is the time for electioneering team

Instead of the tender mango buds and the  Cuckoo's melodious song

Many political campaigners do throng

We hear the opportunistic , affectionate political call

Despite hiding their possible fall

Not heeding to the election code

Money flows on the busy road

For every precious vote

There is at least a thousand Rupees note

Wine one can drink

Until one does sink

We offer corruption as diet for Mother Goddess without shame

We have become a part of this vicious game

For votes and seats Andhra Pradesh has met with unilateral division

The Italian and the saffron aunt have the devilish unison

In fact, there is no scope for any party to get our vote

But in democracy not to vote is like cutting our own throat

As long as breadth is there, there will be life

As long as life is there , there will be hope and strife

I hope this new year Jaya usher in many a success to the common man

The youth shall have creativity, social justice and bright future, for which I yearn

I'm sorry I didn't see this earlier, but somehow I lost your work. Corruption is everywhere; we don't know who to believe any more. But as long as we have life, there is hope for the future.

IT is the same everywhere. Lobbyist control leaders in Washington D.C. It is a sad and cold world. Lobbyist believe they control the country. Sad part. They do. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the election and I hope you do better than the USA did.
