Funom Makama Poet Rhyme

The Tale of a Politician

He speaks, even shading tears
so passionate as if he cares
his promises, putting our emotions to a dare
and honey coated lips,
exaggerating his intentions to be fair

He gets our mandate and no more near
the compatriots b’cos of whom
he had sleepless nights
are now treated so mere

His presence is gone, he’s no more here
it’s happening! Exactly our fear
showcases as ripe and edible
in a short time, now a spoilt and rotten pear

There’s a limit to which the people can bear
the speed to his downfall, they’re holding its gear
disappointment, anger and bitterness they wear
he’ll then be kicked back to where he belongs- the rare!

Bl Devnath February 18, 2015 at 10:21 AM Selfish politicians misguide the people by taking advantage of the innocence of the people today's that is faith on Government. They are best cheaters, best misguiders, best liar.... and all negatives with which they carry on their own business by selling their own negative innocence. Am i right? Loved always, my lovely friend,bl Funom Makama February 20, 2015 at 12:05 PM You are a 100% right BL Devnath.... Thank you a million for your supportive comment

Monterey Sirak February 18, 2015 at 7:47 AM So true. Even the ones who start with good hearts become corrupt once surrounded with the trappings of office. Funom Makama February 20, 2015 at 12:04 PM Yeah and they always adopt the same methods... So pathetic
