Elections

Lefts blamed the right,

Rights blamed the rest.

Those in the middle

Were no different.

Fake promises were 

Made.

Rich dreams were 

Shown.

The hungry toiled

In the fields and

Women waited for

Permission to breath.

The Bigots' 

Spread hate and 

The woke remained

Indifferent.

Some demanded 

Crores, but

Most were bought

With hundreds.

While centuries long

Movement of suffrage,

Died like it was

Really a bad joke.

Between the votes

Those were cast and

Castes that were voted.

The Game of Democracy 

Was successfully lost.
