At one time, people embraced politics
for social work, social service
solely to serve, improve the lot
of the common masses...
Cut to today and you have career politicians
for whom, it's another way of making a living
a means to become rich and famous
as for service- What's that ? they seem to ask
Ask a politician what he's done, 10 years in power
and he evades, dodges question with remark
"opponants are a bunch of crooks!"
if you persist and ask " But sir, in what way have you served?"
pat comes reply " Remember the other fellow
is not from 'our' community!"
At one time, long long ago
people embraced politics
with a wish, a will to serve....
Politics has changed its definition from selfless service to the society to the unholy nexus between unholy person and his means to self improvement and development beyond one's imagination. People should pat themselves for promoting them for obvious reasons. He'll with this system.
ReplyDeleteThank you sir for reading and sharing your thought on the subject!
ReplyDeleteNo doubt politics for majority of the current generation politicians has become a business and not a social service. That's what is leading to family owned parties or dynastic parties with succession plan for the promoter's family members.
ReplyDeleteThank you for responding to the post. Sadly,you find unscrupulous politicians of all hues in all parties today.
