If I Were a Dictator-1

To start with, I desire, I were a dictator If destiny were to decide at its leisure Choose to crown me as a probationer I would become a benevolent dictator. I would in the first place announce to all That there is no scope for nonsense at all Those who obstruct the nation’s revival At no cost be worthy of any mercy at all. That serving the army by every one able Shall be made mandatory for a year full To inculcate discipline among the people That helps the nation to remain watchful. Health and hygiene of all the citizens With special program for the old ones And the disabled as well as the orphans The basic aim to build a healthy nation. With force would stop wasteful spending On such things that affect nation building Enforce through out the country a canon Apply law of plain living and more action. Literacy and education are basic for growth None availing the help would attract wrath Impose a firm ban on concessions forthwith Make merit the standard, to build up strength. No pampering of any community or section Put down with firm footing all vivisection Religious liberty granted to all and sundry Severely deal with fanaticism and bigotry. Implement free market economy and trade Licenses and permits at a stroke removed Every subsidy instantaneously abandoned And tell the public to walk without a bend. contd-part-2
