Politician is not magician;
He is only a tactician!
I live here, in a world of politics;
Only politics within my heart, ticks!
The sect that make lie a truth
Are born rulers of this earth!
I say: 'the law will take its own course';
But, in my case, it can take off course!
Nay, not tainted by a scam,
It's the colour of my skin!
I'm public servant doing all your chores
And, for living, made only thousand Crores*
(*Ten million)
You can change the court
But not the decree!
Elections made it possible:
Untouchables are now touchable!
Between the playwright and heroine
Who's the superstar playing hero?
In politics everywhere, election we conduct.
For popular votes, only unpopular contest!
Try holding tricolour Indian flag
From becoming multicolour tag!
WHITE COLLAR
Two men could do the job of one;
The dexterous does the tens' alone!
Salary is for sitting by the table,
To do work, pay handsel, as per table!
The playful could be studious as well,
For, both call for devotion and skill.
Public office always is for private profit;
Treasure hunters! Take to public service soonest!
Perfection is a serious deformity
For it is not money making quality!
If corruption is the curse of society,
It's boon to public servants' community!
Who pretends to be busy as bees
Will be ignored always by his boss!
If you do not sit where you ought to sit
You will find someone else in your seat!
In case you don't fare well,
Boss will bid you farewell.
People qualify for public services
By ticking answers at random choices!
If banks were nationalised;
Employees have them privatised!
The abundance of redtapism
Does not check rampant nepotism!
Enforcers are benefited
By all laws that are enacted.
COCKTAIL
Liquor may be good vasodilator,
But, once within, it is a dictator!
Why dilute liquor before it is consumed?
Because it is all evils concentrated!
If party ends with "one for the road",
Could be party's end on the road?
Liquors are meant to give you a kick,
You drunk, let not others get the kick!
One is pep, two is pick,
Three is tope, four is kick
PROFESSION
Government servants are employed to tell one
Why they cannot do what he wants to get done!
Banker is one who sees pounds of flesh in man
But fails to notice the blood that streams within!
Instead of winning the common man's trust
Banker's interest is in interest!
Trade unionist is one who incites labour unrest
And settles it at the cost of Labour and management!
Court is good to conduct sports
But not to settle disputes!
Advocate is he who takes a quarrel to court
And conducts it until the client becomes bankrupt!
Doctor is a person who fights a disease
And conquers it even if patient dies!
Accountant is trained to do a balancing trick,
Lifting the pane of profit counterweighed by black!
Businessman is busy scooping profits to prosper,
With other's money, while his own idling in coffer!
