Politico — by Indira
They voted for the politico
For he promised to scrap corruption
But once in total power
Amnesiac, he becomes
Now his second name is corruption

I saw him gasp for breath every time he came out after having his head dunked in water. “Call the police. It’s an attempt to murder.” “Calm down. It’s a belief that one can wash sins by dipping in the holy river. It is a process of purification.” I look at the donut from Dunkin’s … Continue reading Respect
Dog Eat Dog … A brilliant take by Mich on RXC #254
Dog Eats Dog
there’s no such thing as evil or good
in the outlandish world of tragic politics
you could start with all the good in your heart
but pressure to be part of the game will start
the minute you takes oath and swear to be of service.
for its a “dog eats dog” crazy game
you gonna play it well in order to survive
if you play the hero you will be the villain
in the eye of your colleagues who’ve been
on the game way before you came.
is there a way to end this cycle?
you may probably wonder
i too wondered for years and years
i even went on out of the streets
for a call for change and unity.
little did i know i waisted my youth
joining a cause that never was meant
to see the new light onced promised
the ideologies endocrinated…

Nothing ever stays ….by Shashi Dudhgaonkar
Nothing Ever Stays
Nothing much to log in the records
Have not gained anything
Nor lost what was mine
Realisation has seeped in
Through countless cracks
Left by wilting roots of hope
That nothing ever stays
Not even in the fist of your palm
Though the churning won’t stop too soon
Pain pleasure and joy mixed in a goo
Fermented over time
It’s foul vapours reaching
Every crevice of the mind
One again enlightening in a bright flash
It’s time to empty and clean oneself
For no one or nothing ever stays
And even if they stay
Will almost always turn foul
©️ShashikantDudhgaonkar
Your post makes me think about how we define and create our own reality, sticking to the safe and familiar. Knowing too much would create discomfort. A cousin who recently retired said he has taken to reading books on world history, and finds that large sections of mankind have always been racial and cruel. I’d … Continue reading Food
Politico – You are? ….by Sadje
Politics has become a dirty word in most cultures
Being a politico stands mostly for having double standards
Saying something, meaning something else, and doing something else
That is how the world at large views politicians
An honest politician has become a phrase oxymoron in nature
How wonderful it would be to have a politico with principal and convictions
Those upon whom we could always rely on to do what’s right
Those that would be the true heroes saving our democracy and nation!
