KEEPING US SAFE FROM CORRUPTION

Another lockdown on the cards,
And this for NEET paper setters.
Will this, once and for all, put an end,
To the question paper go-getters.

And now we know why Shahjehan,
Cut off the hands of the Taj architect.
How could he even dream,
In diverse places, Tajs he’d resurrect?

Keeping their women in burqas,
Is the same idea in another form.
“My enjoyment of Beauty should never,
Become akin to a common norm?”

Political parties routinely isolate,
MLAs, to keep them from being bought.
Accepting money to form governments,
Many on camera are often caught.

From olden times to the present,
Our characters, are we ready to sell?
Corruption is so entrenched in our blood,
That it has become impossible to quell.

We cheat even on gods these days,
That in depravity is the modern extent.
We have beaten even the American parents,
Paying teenage daughters from becoming pregnant.

Imagine a patient being operated upon,
By a doctor to whom the papers were leaked.
Or being flown as an airline passenger,
By a pilot whose selection was tweaked.

And finally, you are at the Pearly Gates,
Manned by a bribed Saint Peter.
And he sends you to hell for no fault of yours,
Because everyone is a system beater.

I have done a long stint in the Indian Navy that lasted for nearly thirty seven years; I rose as far as my somewhat rebellious and irreverent nature allowed me to. On retirement, in Feb 2010, the first thing that occurred to me, and those around me, was that I Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (you will find an article with this title in this blog) and hadn't lost all my noodles and hence thought of a blog titled 'This 'n That'. I later realised that every third blog is called 'This 'n That' and changed the name to 'Sunbyanyname'. I detest treading the beaten track. This blog offers me to air 'another way' of looking at things. The idea is not just to entertain but also to bring about a change. Should you feel differently, you are free to leave your comments. You can leave comments even when you agree and want to share your own experience about the topic of the blog post. Impudent or otherwise, I have never been insousciant and I am always concerned about the betterment of community, nation and the world. I hope the visitors of this blog would be able to discern it.
