Congress in a mode of self destruction Voters had a choice to boot out the defectors Annoyed at being dishonest and traitors Rejoiced moments to end defection game Traitors succeeded second time, no shame
Lobo and wife had to face corruption heat Kamat humiliated, ignored, forced to retreat Open secret why other veterans made common cause Lure of incentives , power ,position why pause? Voters judgments are taken for a ride Solemn religious oaths, jokes true intentions to hide Saluting Modi and singing BJP praises to defect Destruction of democracy and opposition is the worst side effect BJP with clear majority needed no horse trading at least Encouraging defections promotes antidemocratic beast Like judas ,traitors have flouted voters verdict The lust for power , gain , voters failed to predict APP with sworn affidavits to prevent legal defections Promised schemes in operation with a choice for selections Propaganda launched that AAP was BJP's B team Congress a hidden A team, voters left now to scream Political defections galore Goa in the forefront Frustrated, dismayed Voters left to moan and grunt Voters, post elections have no hold or say Defectors exploit loopholes merrily have their way Follow the leader Voters to consult, no need It is an alibi of development to fuel personal greed Selfish voters with defectors may soon align Defectors are thick skinned you can't malign Will it still be sacred democratic duty to vote again Is it worth going through process enduring pain Voters in elections are made to appear as fools Politicians with grand promises, gimmicks use them as tools Shun to vote without fool proof anti defection law in place Preserve self respect , dignity with grace In a democracy the majority always has its way Be proud to exercise and pronounce your say . Defectors will display their power and clout Voters can protest with dharnas or shout.. The reality is influence of traitors will be forced to seek Wise to bear humiliations, insults it is useless to speak Voters forced to wait until next, anger to show Defectors are chameleons ,change colours for all that you know Five years is a long time , treachery bound forget Next elections is a delima whether to forgive or simply regret Nelson Lopes Chinchinim
