Man was vile

For those who are surprised
And still ask ‘How’ and ‘Why’?
The answer may be found
In misuse of the ED and CBI

Ideology, ethics and morality
Are things of a remote past
All important question is
‘Will this dispensation last?’

We, the People, always vote
It doesn’t matter which side
Once they are in driver’s seat
They will take us for a ride!

‘None of the above’ option
Means vote will go to waste
But all the choices on offer
May leave us a bitter taste

When the only choice we get
Is between bad and worse
We tend to blame the system
And say democracy is a curse

As things have gone wrong
It is time to ponder awhile:
If our Constitution is not bad
Perhaps it is true: “Man was vile”
