So Many Elections Have Come And Gone

So Many Elections Have Come And Gone, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.

but what they
promised so
eloquently in
their passionate
speeches has
yet to be born
once they sat
on the saddle
of power what
little hope that
i held on too
already gone
the rising price
of onions essential
commodities water
bill power bill
life goes on
oh mother india
shut your eyes
your daughters
raped ..acid thrown
on their faces
their deaths i mourn
the tiranga weeps
hung upside down
tattered and torn
death and democracy
a new day has dawned
