By RK Lakhi Kant<\/p>\n
\nKingly authority, and ruling
\nwithout war equipments, is better;
\nNon-dependence on the ministers,
\nwith no disrespect to their wisdom.<\/p>\n
Voting is altogether different;
\nCan\u2019t ask a layman to vote
\non matters beyond his
\ncapacity to understand.<\/p>\n
Politicians do not have the
\nsubstance to explain
\nmost or all things; political
\npropaganda is a hoarse call.<\/p>\n
Intellectualism should take risks;
\nTrue intellectuals are beyond
\nthe concern of politics;
\nNever within its ambit.<\/p>\n
Intellectuals, comment on
\nsocial inequality; is it unavoidable?
\nGive free instructions
\non any matter, importantly subjugation.<\/p>\n
Non-political, non-profit
\nideals can solve
\nthe problem of pseudo ruling,
\nas is prevalent nowadays.<\/p>\n
Kinship is important in monarchy
\nbut no to dynastic rule,
\nseen as in India for long;
\nNothing to do with the kinship of yore.<\/p>\n
Righteous and liberal kings
\nlike Raja Harishchandra are examples
\nin affairs of the state and community
\nin India; revive such sentiments.<\/p>\n
We are wasting our time on
\nnuclear options and high-end
\nretail trade, even in foodstuffs,
\njust because everyone else is doing it.<\/p>\n
How can nationalism grow
\nwhere one half works to
\nhurt as much as possible
\nthe other half; voting leads to this.<\/p>\n
Is this the intellect
\nthe lawmakers uphold?
\nCut throat competition not required;
\nMore compassion, kindness, and service attitude.<\/p>\n
Brotherhood is not seen \u2013 so much
\nis the overriding concern with ourselves;
\nIn a city of millions
\nthere is an undercurrent of
\nsavage competition.<\/p>\n
We want a free country, freshly
\nawakened and wisened from
\nthe past ages of sufferings: a new morning,
\na new daytime, and a new evening.<\/p>\n\n
