Power Corrupts

“Power corrupts everybody” “Absolute power corrupts absolutely” Gandhi* said” leave the power after independence” The disciples of non violence chose to retain it for chance Ghandhiji* wanted village based industry So village people have to face no dependency Many of his trusted lieutenants turned greedy Showed later on how much they were power hungry It was their vision for the country Russians really turned mighty They held one fifth of the entire globe Chinese empire too inherited but with more land to probe The communism suited to Chinese well Russians failed to spread message to people Indian were riddled with castes and regionalism In between the struggle was forgotten with nationalism The Chinese have emerged as strongest power Russians have disintegrated and have no effective power Indians have faired no better and lost the direction Whole of country is divided and failed to capitalize the action The country is ruled by lawless system There is no effective system to rule them The corruption is taking heavy toll Poor is suffering with more hardship to tell Still there is hope and it may work The country needs promising word The new generation may provide the lead Only future has to be seen and well read *Gandhiji… Father of Indian Nation
