Cry Of A Dying River...53
Rajendra Kshetri *
I am no longer the river I was once
The river that flows in the land of 'wanton politicians'
Politician(s) who knows understands better than anybody
Hears reads sees everything under the sun
Politician(s) whose expertise excels that of experts
Politician(s) whose knowledge nullifies knowledge of knowledgeable
Politician(s) who needs no education to educate people
Politician(s) who are allergic to the idea of higher education
Politician(s) whose gospel truth is the Machiavellian line
"Politics have no relation to morals".
I am no longer the river I was once
The river that is chronicler of our times
Times when people trust the king/ruler
Times when politics propel people
Times when people question and rebel
Times when people define politics and political discourse
Times when politics pollutes people
Times when politics defile people
The times we live in and suffocate
Life and times when politics precludes our free existence.
