Red Beacon

Red Beacon

Red Beacon

Red indeed signifies danger

So, VIP cars on top have that color,

Road-rage, car-crashes, terrible lawlessness

The capital roads are already in a sickening mess,

Showing-off & breaking rules is the right of every goon

Now, thousands get added to that pretty soon,

Traffic cops will have tough time enforcing laws

Whether to do their duty or face political claws,

With no values, no conscience, no spine

Misuse & abuse of such a rule will surely raise crime,

Red beacon for just flashing their position

It indeed reflects their petty disposition,

No concern for work, none for the rotting grains

They are there only for their personal gains,

No concern for farmer suicides, none for female atrocity

They are mere politicians with no sense of duty,

Financial mess, corruption cesspool, country is going to dogs

But they are more concerned, what’s there in blogs,

They are the ones who sleep while in session

Who raise their own perks, while a nation slips into recession,

Don’t want to stop looting & raping the nation

But want to have gag-media regulation,

The country is being raped, maimed & killed

As they have hellish intent and are totally un-skilled

Yeah, MPs will soon have a red beacon on their vehicles

Rightly so, as we need to keep away from the class that kills!

Better than Britishers

Where’s the comparison ?

Were British colonial Rulers better

Or our own political hackler

A cause for comparison is little sad

So, pause a little, think a tad

Ministers in foreign jaunts and British in clubs

Country withering away in droughts & floods

The Kohinoor in Queen’s crown

Politicians’ personal wealth up while country goes down.

Were British colonial Rulers better

Or our own political hackler

A cause for comparison is little sad

So, pause a little, think a tad

VIP cavalcades and mothers delivering babies in the jam

Daughters sold in poverty and Netas getting richer in scam

Dacoit, murderer, rapist legislators

What’s indeed, the difference with the Britishers.

Were British colonial Rulers better

Or our own political hackler

A cause for comparison is little sad

So, pause a little, think a tad

One country into two, Divide et empera alas

Wooing communities and playing quotas

A mad britisher cuts the country

Selfish politicians further divide the society.

Were British colonial Rulers better

Or our own political hackler

A cause for comparison is little sad

So, pause a little, think a tad

Where even a thought should have been odious

Here we are compelled to weigh - who is more malicious

Their intentions were clear, to plunder, to leave

These politicians however, are snakes in our sleeve

Were British colonial Rulers better

Or our own political hackler

To have doubts, to think a tad

You must be really mad !

two different citizens

Some time back, the young new chief minister of UP - Akhilesh Yadav - made an annoucement that created a stir...atleast in the media. He announced that the out of forty - yes you read it right, 4 & 0, 40 - vehicles in the chief minister's entourage, a Mayawati legacy, thrity-two vehicles will be withdrawn. He wants his entourage to have only, yes, only eight vehicles.
Great thought. Great gesture. But the point is, its actually seen perhaps, as a gesture. If Akhilesh too, continued with forty vehicles, there wouldn't have been any complaints. Even if he were to increase the entourage to fifty vehicles, that too wouldn't have been news. Thats the point. Before India became a nation, with a comprehensive constitution, lofty values & principles and declared itself as socialist democracy; some kings used Rolls Royce cars, for ferrying their horses & pets, while people had no public means of transport, except for their own two legs.
After well over 6 decades of independence from the British and of becoming a nation, things don't seem to have changed. Check just one of the images, thats part of our daily lives.

Mayawati having forty vehicles in her entourage and similar would be number for many other chief ministers, union ministers and several other VIPs, isn't really a sensational news. If that means, the public of this country faces probable death each & every day of his life as she or he commutes to work or college; if that means people travel on top of trains and get electrocuted to death, if that means people fall out on the tracks and get crushed under mumbai locals,  that's not news, either. Clearly, the young nation with stated socialistic principles, doesn't really believe in socialism. There are kings & queens and their are people. There are first class citizens and there are ordinary citizens.
Whats really sad and scary that in terms of values & principles, socially & culturally, India has changed deep inside. It isn't teh country of vedas, sanskriti, satyuga and all that. Its neo-imperialim and I'll be damned if am being rhetorical!
