If I Were a Dictator-2

Not allow politics to pollute the populace With issues like regionalism and language Permit free movement of men and goods Connect the country with tree-lined roads. Deal ruthlessly with anti-national elements Issue stern warning to all political animals Mischief by them may attract prison cells Or deport them to far off Siberian jungles. Corruption eating away the vitals of nation Shall be dealt with the deterrent castigation Persuade the people to stay honest and just Remain steadfast to the ideals from the start. Would certainly encourage sports and games Without discrimination between the sports Not allow them to do things other than play Push them to perform for the nation anyway. Two areas namely agriculture and defense Are important, I believe for fast furtherance Linking science & technology for advance And lead the state to grandiose deliverance. Maintain cordiality with every other nation Always upholding the dignity of my nation Neither yielding nor bothering is my dictum With pledge absolute to protect the sanctum. Thus is my agenda for action instantaneous To free the motherland from evils infectious To hoist her on the pedestal vividly glorious If by chance, I become the dictator gracious.
