"Vote for us!" Loudspeakers yell
"Choose our rule!" Posters tell
"Noble acts!" "Development!" Advertisements sell
Into our net, naively you fell.
Visions for the homeland blur in
Air conditioned rooms
Mind numbs, money wins
Justice peeks out under the blindfold
Sun, sweat and sincerity
Fade in the limelight
Corruption, scams, obscene reality
Prosperity thrives on poverty
War without bloodshed
Dirty games
Lives gambled, deals made
No shame in chasing fame
Virgin beauty, shunned pride,
Sold on streetsides
Festering wounds, empty bellies,
Forgotten promises
Ignored pleas, muffled cries
Silent screams
Righteous voices put down swiftly,
Courage and loyalty, jokes like equality
White starched cotton
Hides a human heart
Turned inhuman
By greed so daft
Starving minds
Easily deluded
Slums need to rot
For buildings to rise
Conscience sold,
We are only human,
For our Nation's sake,
In You, should begin the Revolution.
The world's largest democracy...
The ink on the index finger. A Right. An opinion. A Vote.
Elections.
Blatant defamations, baseless advertisements, bewildered people...
In this pitiful comedy, the dice are thrown by powerful hands, and the strings are pulled by master puppeteers.. But the naked truth lies open before us, which we gladly choose to ignore..
Make the right choice.
