Politics
I look for the word politics
Up in the dictionary
To find its meaning
As the word like music ring
All time in the ears
Does it bring cheers?
Does it bring tears?
Does it help one to lose the fears?
It is my query
It is your query
May be for more than a century?
Politics
All about tricks
To maintain the chair
Foul or fair
One may care?
Or care not
Battles are fought
To opposition, a lesson taught
All for power
Enjoy every time shower
Muse inside the ivory tower
Feel an urge to teach
The commoners with a long drawn speech
There on the open field
And even yield
To bribe them with a handful of grains
Sharp brains!
I better understand the politicians
Wonderful musicians
Perform their best
In the elections
Forget the rest
Enjoy the harvest
And enjoy every ride
With the pilot car at the side
Enjoy the long drawn procession
The public faces the traffic jam
Politics is only a definition
Is it a science or an art of governance?
Of humans and their intelligent brains.
