Power Games

Power games

Lethal ploys

deployed

Evidences toyed

Destroyed

Lives snatched

detached

to serve death

just to suppress

digress

from the Truth

raring to reveal

its naked form.

But they're unaware

Beware!

that Karma survives

thrives

on your misdeeds

and that

Truth can be disturbed

distorted

but can never be defeated

Never.

Author's Note

I have written this poem in relation to the Vyapam Educational Scam in Madhya Pradesh in which over 2000 people are allegedly involved. The startling revelation is that around 50 people linked to this scam have lost their lives out of which half of them have died under mysterious circumstances.

I can only review the poem on it's own merits as I am not familiar to this scam to which you refer.
I can feel energy in the poem that needs to be controlled while the reader is looking over your work. To do this, you need a softer font overall and some well placed punctuation!

Bravo boy. Good one. keep it up

[Gurleen Saluja]

Written very well. A good attempt to bring to light the scam and scammers. Thanks for sharing. :)

Very well write friend.
Some scams bring down the Indian reputation. It is one of them.
One side a leader want to brighten the country, but some another leader not standing with him.
It is best realistic write friend.

So much falsity in the world, we must always be vigilant!

[andrew mitchell]

But so often the truth is covered up! A good write that flows a message!

I love this form - easy to read - I like the rather 'final' flow - if it can be described in such a way - great use of words - all right where they need to be (except for that in front of Karma - not sure its needed - such a non word I think).

The outline of this poem can be applied to many things in life - I like the way your mind works :)

For me this may be my fav of yours ... X

In the end no matter who you are or what you do, Karma will come for you. Nice little piece with true words.
