ANYTHING seems possibleFor those who're in powerSpeaking truth to themIs the need of the hour.Truth comes at a priceMostly it's too highTherefore no one asksHow or why?.The power to appointTransfer, promote is fineBut it can well be usedTo ensure toeing the line.And when such gamesAre played by all sidesThey seek to manipulateEvery one who decides.The decision makersAre aware of their powerBut who doesn't wishTo climb atop the tower?.So a tweak here or thereA bit of a small favourIs a good investmentIn future to savour.Even the intelligentAnd seemingly wiseVery quickly adapt toThe art of compromise.As a result they climbWhile seniors languishMerit being rewardedRemains just a fond wish.Stalling recommendationsDelaying appointmentsIs the standard procedureTo utilise disappointments.They easily sail throughWho've never rocked the boatAnd kept many dark secretsInside their black coats.We the people will continueEnjoying this democracyAnd praying for justice fromBench and bureaucracy
