Let the sycophancy be dead, let my voice be heard

Can I call a spade a spade without fear of being slammed

can I enjoy my rights to speak without being intimidated

can I show you the mirror you deserve

or should I bear all your bullshits only because

you are some party's affiliate, some party’s PM candidate?

True that those in my neighbourhood have vouched for you

true that many of my friends are campaigning for you 

but do not expect me to be a blind follower

it’s a mistake I am their friend, their neighbour   

Sycophants don't let me speak what and when I want to

they can argue, counter and contest 

but they seek to silence the voice that I have

for they don't like the truth, the party don't like the truth 

Who cares, even if tomorrow you become Prime Minister or 

who gives a damn even if you don’t get single vote

they will worship you, they will butter you

despite all the killings that you allowed

despite all the hatred you have instilled

Sycophant that they are, little do I care

threat to 'humanity' they are, I am afraid

threat to idea of Indianness they are, I am concerned 

threat to harmony they are, I am apprehensive 

I hate you, for you befool people in the name of caste

I hate you, for you blackmail people in the name of religion

And not mistake me as loving them only because I hate you

Let the sycophancy be dead, let my voice be heard 


Disclaimer: I have some wonderful friends and neighbours. Only thing is that they have different political liking than I. I respect them all and want them all be in my life.
