Sonnet Modern: Elections In India, May 2016

Democracy is riddled by loop-holes, That politicians use as advantage; The votes of poor can be purchased by doles, As mathematics wins - the key message! The scorching summer's heat has made all hot; But not all voters can be easily bought. The land is hit by floods and drought that scare; The heinous crimes are turning worse each day; The average farmer cannot losses bear; The ones in power adamant, all stay; But when will come reprieve, all ask and pray; God rules the heavens, earth has gone astray! Select the un-corrupt by election, And party that ushers prohibition! Copyright by Dr John Celes 5-05-2016
