Mother said you are two and a
half, lets go to school.
Father said, "What a laugh!"
three is when you go to
school.
School says come now and pay
me a fee,
Government says come later
and now go flee.
Did you know that the Delhi elections are on?
Arvind Kejriwal, Kiran Bedi, and Ajay Maken are
fighting head on.
The Aam Aadmi Party, the Bhartiya Janta
Party, and the Congress are at Daggers End, one is
shouting fight ‘corruption’, one is shouting
‘development- development’.
The problem is, who should one vote for? Both
seem good and the decision is tough. While on the
face of it, the Congress seems out, but you never
know who wins this war.
But finally it seems, after the elections, the
news channels will have something else to cover.
And finally, some other issues will be covered.
But no matter who comes in power, lets hope
the roads improve, the city gets safer, and there is
more hope for the poor.
