Have you done your bit?

Dear Citizen,
You are blaming the politician for your failures.
You chose them to be there,
You pay them for their audacity,
You ignite your passions and let them burn you,
You disguise your guilt in form of anger,
You will abdicate one and throne another,

They are seeking opportunity in your name,
They will breed their intentions on your anguish,


But you will not participate,
You will not question the conventional,
You will behave like a true pseudo nationalist,

Blame it on them,
Politician, police, administration, system, Pakistan.

Look inside yourself,
How far do you think?
When you choose a career,
When you start an enterprise,
When you take every small and big decision in your life.

Do you include your neighborhood?
Your society, city or your nation?
Do you know who represents you where?
Do you know why they tax you?

The rogue terrorists have done something for what they feel passionately about,
Their means and ends are surely not justified,
If they can kill for what they believe in,
Can’t you live for what you believe in?

Every time you ridicule the only organized setup you have,
Remember, you are responsible for it,
Some times wishes do get granted,
And you will be very scared if they do,

Politicians are only reflections of the organized majority,
If you want more laws,
They will be more than happy to grant them,
They will seek more of your money as you can’t spare time,

No system will erase the erratic,
But you might have a peaceful end,
If you have done your bit,
More in action and less in reaction.
