Retrogressive Politics

The politics waved across the nation
They were the politics of domination
Packaged in pleasing communication
To conquer the entire population

Aspiring promises were well articulated
With manifestos designed and decorated
Their minds and hearts got converted
Goods things were to come once voted

Five years later,things remain the same
New promises are given without shame
Hopelessly they wait for the right time
For the project to be given a name

Another term, more mundane promises
Promises about their  initial promises
But all we see is upgrade of their premises
And their hopes suddenly diminishes
