Goa`s `s breed of political chameleons

Ten little Niger’s Agathe`s plot
  Marooned on an island unable to escape
  No reasons to feel ,elated safe.
Defectors will not escape political rape

One by one disappeared from scene
 Waiting in desperation for their turn  to begin
They  stealthily conceived plot
Surprised the party and voters lot

One or two were suspected to quit
Elders made sure and did precious bit
Betrayed party and voters  trust
Development and alibi, but it was lust.

Suddenly the constituency will flow with milk and honey
Where are the resources and money
Party and voters got a jolt
It was sudden lightening bolt.

Ex C,M`s old and battered, unable to wield
 Surrendered tamely and meekly, no option but to yield
Congress with  BJP fought tooth and nail
How now in their company they will sail,

A road here, a job there, they are likely to achieve
These are sops and crumbs to deceive,
Let the MLA`s expose development plan
And explain how BJP scuttled, if hey can.

Never heard of any debates , protest on issue
Development mantra is thin as paper tissue
The mergerists in  all likely hood bound to fail,
Lamentations, frustrations will be of no avail.

It will dawn upon them that it  is old wine in new bottle
The vehicle of development does not speed up, by increasing the throttle
The voters anger is suppressed deep inside,
When the time comes it will erupt with no place to hide,

Momentarily the voter cannot display his might,
In  the appropriate time it  will strike right,
Why did they stab the mother in the back,
The greed,avarice made them lose track,

If by merging with BJP, they expect to touch the moon
They are in  for a rude surprise, unfolding soon,
Only helped BJP in the south to bloom
Cast shadow of darkness and gloom,.

The traitors cannot be forgiven or spared
Party and voters they have challenged and dared .
Some may become Ministers and hold posts
The Development mantra will be an  illusive ghost.

The BJP will certainly, control the reigns  of power
Limit on platitudes and praises to shower
For a few, this harikari is  the chance last
To cobble up resources, quickly and fast.

It is said while sun shines make hay
Realization will  dawn upon them, as  the only way
Some lackeys and suckers will float around
They stand to benefit with sops on the ground

In turn they will sing  their masters praise
Hoping their doles will  find a raise
Voters want employment,not  doles
Will the MLA`s in their  pockets dig holes?

BJP with EVM`s, bribes ,threats failed to sway
It is trying resignations ,breakups and easy way
In Telegana, Karnataka has spread the virus
Goa too has merrily joined the circus

In Delhi Goan MLA`s were welcome with a shawl and flower
They could neither smile  ,cry or  duck for cover
In a matter of moments the ceremony was all  over
Back to the state to rue forever

Get rid of old and induct new in place
Limit public office for two terms to create space
The  speaker or court will not decide
Deserting party, banned from reelection, law to abide.

A simple law banning resignations, merger and re election
Can be right way for candidates selection
Jumping Chickens will then be stopped in the track
This is the only solution to bring Democracy back
