Rip Van Winkle

Caught was he dosing off in the House, Laymen keeping vigil with grey grouse, Yet, is not there a plan Ever since it began? Day-long dull, nocturnal goes the mouse. ________________________________________________________ It’s not Rahul alone. We have had a dosing PM, and snoring ministers, MPs browsing on blue sites, even absent, late-coming, sleepy public servants in most government offices. Have not they all been dosing for the last six and half decades? And many more with drowsy wide open eyes. If not, how can we be in such a mess? How can our problems go out of control? How can our work ethics be so awful? One can’t help feel there has been a plan to keep the public asleep so that leaders can keep their eyes closed. May be, there have been calculated moves to keep the masses uneducated as well so that votes can be had from drowsy sheep; plan to keep them poor and in need so that votes can be bought. A ruling party has been punished in recent elections, and a new one is in power. Though it is too early to judge good days are unlikely. __________________________________________________________________ - Happenings | 02.07.14 |
