Pradnya Surve
The media covered news
Of the politico who died
Television, newspapers, social media
Pictures flashed everywhere
As his body lies in state
His biography chronicled with his greatness
Lies of benevolence and generosity
A band of faithful followers
Crocodiles in tears
Blare out his goodness and public spirit
But the inside story yet
Still remains untold.
Somewhere an old man dies
Close family and friends cries
Alas the brave soldier left
Funeral with Honor and attention bereft
Only a few remember
His stories of heroic deeds
Battles fought valiantly
For the nation and a family
It was his job the state’s man said
As a wreath he laid
But the land mourned his loss
On his gravestone they emboss
“Known unto God”

True picture of media.Crocodiles in tears ,no doubt.
It’s so true🥺
So sad but true
Even politico is passe now. Its Bollywood! 😀. Seriously the media is rightly called a circus.
Very true Doel, they go to great extent to catch attention
The story of the unknown soldier!
Poignant, Ma’am.
Sad truth. The brave hearts who rightfully deserve the honour and eulogies, seldom receive their due.
Poignant poem.
Very nice poem .
this is a heartbreaking piece 💔 so much conveyed in so few words
Unsung heroes our soldiers are, the media only salutes rulers.
