Shameful Politics

Padmini Arhant


Shame is relative.
Lining own coffers and veiling those living in extreme economic conditions with the wall of cloth curtains in proactive pseudo image maintenance is shameful. 

Not doing what is required to alleviate poverty and misery for those and instead engage in their temporary disappearance and erasing their humble dwellings for image upkeep is shame flamboyant. 

Impose draconian rule with curfew and lockdown stymieing daily existence for the struggling to make ends meet in the gala event hosting to boost false pride and seek forgiveness is wickedness ad nauseam besides shameful shenanigans on display.

Plutocracy in politics is the landmine deterring tangible humanitarian progress.

The deceitful and the deceived not gaining consciousness from the coma share responsibility on status quo.

The abject poverty and impoverishment inflicted on vast majority of population due to corruption, criminality, abuse of power and misuse of public money defying transparency and accountability in politics is shameful.

The public as diverse taxpayers funding governance at all levels from the city, municipal, county, district, state to national and federal level are incumbent and obligatory to seek publicly accessible and verifiable spending details from public office bearers as to investment or divestment of their tax money.

Politics mindful of image appearance is a mirage projecting oasis in the barren desert.
