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?
