It's still an amazing world...
A word is worth a thousand pictures
Tagore Songs in Translation
Birding in south India and life on planet earth
Wet Ink - Don't Smudge

Oh! I see the image! And then that last line took my breath away!
EVMs collect abstract dreams… love that!
Powerful
Love this!
Quite a scene you describe here. I like the term “political anti-heroes”. It seems that’s all we have left.
I HOPE for the anti-hero’s denouement. May it be so. Thanks for voting!!!!
p.s. I love the cheeky old sun in this poem.
Loaded with power!
I particularly like from this line down: “And the EVMs will collect abstract dreams”
We must always vote against war – and for the lesser evil and what is right – eloquently expressed
“I am to choose a lesser evil.” I like how your options are already made for you.
Whilst I agree sadly so many politicians are wolves in sheep’s clothing…then again we often vote for the loudest voice. Tricky business isn’t it?
It takes courage to stand in those long queues…
Well said, Sumana! We need to be rescued from corrupt, ineffective or indifferent leaders. One salient way to do that, is to put more of the good ones in power . Elections are the mechanisms that enable this change…..
the lesser of two devils advocates is so often the case in our democrratic world, especially liked the last line
How so true, Sumana. We should be thankful for living in a country where at least we have the right to vote and dream of changing the world by choosing the lesser of two evils…
