He stood on the platfrom,
Lashed his tounge,
Against his opponents,
Calling them names,
Incapable of doing nothing,
He himself done nothing,
Talked of education,
Healthcare, women welfare,
Of the countries to fight
A war, for reasons
People half understood,
But never givinga consensus,
He was almost like
The military men who ate
Quarter of the countries
Income, did almost nothing
Except for fighting
Once ina while war,
Of no consequence
To the people of the country,
They belonged, both
Miltary and politicans
Devouring a quantum
For almost doing nothing
Existing for namesake
Of country's development
And protection it barely needed.
