Elections are over <br />Results have come <br />People failed <br />And failed for a long time. <br /> <br />I stood with hope <br />Against a flock of bastards. <br />No money <br />No Power <br />With education high <br />And youthfull blood <br />I stood with hope. <br /> <br />They had it all <br />Money <br />Power <br />And also an ugly wrinkled image <br />To crush me down <br />And boot on my chest. <br /> <br />I now forgot <br />That I am a citizen of India <br />A democratic paradise <br />Filled with people <br />Who carry independent thoughts <br />And an attitude to <br />Stay stereotypical <br />In making alternative governments <br />Enthroning him or her. <br /> <br />I stood with hope <br />To create a change <br />In the current political scenario <br />Assuming myself <br />To be fit to rule <br />With education and young age <br />But people proved intelligent <br />They rather prefer freebies <br />Than my future plans <br />And now i stand a goof <br />Thinking that people have failed <br />And failed for a long time <br />Their fate is so <br />Their heart is so <br />An independent candidate <br />Is one among them too <br />A literal fool.<br /><br />Mohamed Umar Farooq<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-independent-candidate-s-frustration/
