An Ideal Government

If I become head of a country this is what I will do
Solve common problems of country men such that joy will ensue

Provide free food to all, life without food  most miserable
Criminals are born when hunger pangs become unbearable

Standardize education,  make it compulsory for all 
Would provide food and hostel in school, it would be free for all

Study of scriptures, values compulsory subject in school
Nurture talents, vocational education, sports in school

All hospitals and doctors would give free medicines, treatment, 
They would be paid by govt, no one would die for lack of treatment

All contest election as independent, on their own trait
One who gets most votes amongst others becomes head of the state

All using their  own brains, no one following any leader
Many brains together deciding policies, not leader

Stop all wars, weapons manufactured only for self defence
War kills many, brings multiple miseries,  wars make no sense

Stop space missions to other planets for they serve no purpose
Use that money for environment, other useful purpose

If I can make my countrymen happy, I will be happy
I feel head of state should solve problems, try to make all happy

Food, clothing shelter, education, health, blissful life
How many head of state solve these real problems of life?
