Reign of the F*ck Principle: A Political Satire in Meghalaya
Oh how the f*ck principle reigns supreme,
In Meghalaya, where voters cast their vote
For the one who flaunts Gandhi's symbol gleam,
With little care for justice, hunger's moat.
For where are those revolutionaries now,
When people suffer, die in poverty's hold,
Their trust in leaders crushed, to disavow
All hope, they choose the one with wealth untold.
And yet, these politicians come to call
Only during election's brief campaign,
Their promises a joke, a useless pall
To soothe the people's pain, their endless strain.
So f*ck these intellectuals, these clowns,
Who preach of principles, yet fail to act,
Their campaign slogans, empty words that drown
The people's cries for help, their urgent fact.
For power and corruption rule the day,
The game of politics a means to gain,
And those who suffer, pay the bloody way,
While those in power, seek to entertain.
Oh yes, f*ck principle, and ideology too,
For they are nothing but a fairy tale,
A dream of justice, but a lie that's true,
A comfort for the rich, but not for sale.
And so, dear voters, heed these words of mine,
Do not be swayed by rhetoric and lies,
Take charge of your own fate, and do not pine
For those who use and toss you like cheap fries.
For you are not dumb, and you deserve more,
Than those who seek to rule with iron hand,
So cast your vote with care, and do explore
The depths of truth, and not just what is grand.
And as for those who seek to lead the way,
Remember this: true leadership demands,
A heart that's pure, and not just for display,
But a soul that seeks to serve, and truly understands.
So f*ck to all those politicians, who hide,
Behind their masks of power, and their deceit,
May their lies and empty promises subside,
And may the people rise, and take their seat.
Let not the elections be a seasonal game,
A passing fancy, a brief moment of fame,
But let it be a call to action, a chance to change,
A time to heal, to grow, and to rearrange.
For the people of Meghalaya deserve more,
Than just a symbol on a note, or a shallow score,
They deserve leaders who will stand for their rights,
Who will fight for justice, and shine the light.
And though the road may be long and hard,
And the struggles many, and the setbacks barred,
Let us not lose hope, or give up the fight,
For the future is bright, and the day is in sight.
So let us say f*ck to the politics of old,
To the lies and the cheating, and the power to hold,
And let us embrace a new day, a new way,
A way of compassion, of justice, and of sway.
For though the challenges may be great,
And the road ahead may be filled with hate,
Let us remember the strength of the human spirit,
The power to overcome, and the will to merit.
So let us rise up, and take our place,
As citizens of Meghalaya, of human race,
And let us demand justice, and equality,
And let us fight for a future, that's full of possibility.
For the people of Meghalaya, and the world at large,
Deserve leaders who will stand up, and take charge,
Who will work for the good, and the betterment of all,
And who will answer the call, of the people's call.
So let us break free from the chains of corruption,
And the politics of greed, and of destruction,
Let us build a new world, a world that is just,
A world where love and compassion reign supreme, and trust.
For we are more than just symbols on a note,
We are human beings, with dignity, and hope,
And we deserve leaders who will see us for who we are,
And who will guide us to a brighter tomorrow, a shining star.
So let us stand together, hand in hand,
And let us fight for a future that's grand,
A future that's built on the foundations of love,
A future that's blessed from the heavens above.
And as we journey on, through the twists and turns of fate,
Let us never forget, that we have the power to create,
A world that's fair, and just, and true,
A world that's free, and open, and new.
So let us say f*ck to the politics of old,
To the lies and the cheating, and the power to hold,
And let us embrace a new day, a new way,
A way of compassion, of justice, and of sway.
For the people of Meghalaya, and the world at large,
Deserve leaders who will stand up, and take charge,
Who will work for the good, and the betterment of all,
And who will answer the call, of the people's call.
