Stability needs majority Sacred vote is finally cast , Hustle and bustle is over at last, Every candidate dreams of a win, Hoping the wheel of fortune to spin.
Parties too plot and speculate, Permutations and combinations calculate, Switching loyalties, defections, a plot easy, The lure for power ,ambitions keeps electors busy. The fate of candidates is sealed now, The wait and agony seems long somehow, The loss is what most candidates dread, Politics is best profession to earn bread. Oaths and affidavits do not loyalty ensure Malaise of defections have no legal cure Post elections, parties candidates free to decide , By mandate of electorate will not abide . Sitting in opposition for a term is too long Manifestos ,promises are reduced to a song Development of self and voters goes for a toss, The fortunes spent on elections are a total loss. Position leads to popularity , fame and gain, Ensures prospects of win once again, The voters expectations, hopes are lost, Inability to recover expenses and the cost. Some candidates return is certain hope, Unsuccessful with loss and pain cope, Dreams , opportunities will arise new, Fortune will only favour a miniscule few. Hung assembly a most possible scene, Mergers, defections ,coalition surely begin, Crowning of king is what matters the most, The tussle continues for incentives or any post. Frustration of those left out of fray, Instability cause of concern an easy prey, Voters helplessly watch ring side view, As pulls and pressures afresh renew. The lust for power, fame ,Instability the cause , The musical chairs in Goan politics continues without pause, Fractured mandate is a blessing in disguise Horse trading for power struggle no surprise. Balancing aspirations dreams of all Development ,progress takes downfall Energies of administration spent on unity of flock The boat of stability may not to rock Voters are motivated by personal gain Voting for defectors , others again and again The best way to usher in change Candidates, Parties must regularly exchange Nelson Lopes Chinchinim
