The secret of ‘Tactical Voting’
Come on! I must tell you the secret of ‘tactical voting’,
Don’t see one’s criminal, corrupt and communal past;
Don’t care , if one has spent the life in saffron brigade,
Vote for one,if one has chance to defeat the B.J.P.man.
Please don’t mind, if such a person gives you a kick ,
If he is strong against B.J.P., lie prostrate on his feet;
If this person wins with your vote, but joins your foes,
Don’t utter any word of protest , as it is not your job.
If it is the meaning of our decades old ‘ tactical voting’,
I am lacking in appropriate words, I can use for them;
Who appeal for it as a grand display of their wisdom,
But for me at least ,it is the height of a defeated race.
