We have heard the old adage
that some can be fooled all the time
but not all the people all of the time
Yet the shrewd and the cunning know
a little time is more than enough
to fool the gullible to do their bidding
achieve their goal, have their way!
So the battered wife is pacified
by a few minutes of profuse apology
and sweet little nothings like 'my milk' and ' my honey'
only to get battered again sooner than later
Similar is the plight of the voter
at election time- fooled
by promises of wealth, health, safety
infrastructure and well being
only to be ignored, disregarded
for the next five years....
until it is time to fool once again!
Yes, now after Karnataka election drama, we feel fooled :(
ReplyDeleteIt is not just in Karnataka; the story is the same all over the country. Once elected, the politicians just don't care till examination time.
