The poem - Oh system ! Even morally ?
Pravin Thongam *
Eat and drink, election is near
Eat and drink, election is near.
Human blood on the menu
While its tears embellish your cuisine.
While its tears embellish your cuisine,
You must eat and drink.
Some say we live democracy
While your mouth being gagged.
Some say we breathe democracy
While mothers wailing for their snatched and slaughtered children
Sisters being raped and left moaning and shot
In the name of Law and Democracy.
Some say a festival is near
Where humans are sold in
Mere bucks or Thousands.
Some say a festival is near
Where thieves buy people with their black money.
Eat and drink, election is near.
When rich thieves lead humans,
One can understand
Cheapest are humans.
Eat and drink, election is near.
No need of new lessons in Economics !
No need of giving more tensions to students spheres
As certain leaders are just actor Thikaadaars with Shallow brain.
How can one resist to study pondering
I will get to my dream someday
In this system led by actors, thieves ?
And now I'm searching what I have learnt in Moral Science
While people are eating and drinking
In the name of democracy.
