An Ode to the Aam Aadmi Party

From my Facebook Page, after Arvind Kejriwals Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) surprised everyone at the Delhi Elections trouncing both the incumbent Congress as well as the overconfident BJP.
The Congress party lost virtually everything it had, and the BJP - despite claiming a Modi effect, got lesser votes than it did when it lost the elections last year!! 

Suddenly every one is seeing things differently... Mirror images, reverse swings..
No Cricket
All about the Election Ticket
About Political Fame
About a Partys' Name
Who's AAP?
No one knew!
Whatsaap?
Broom?
And few said " a chatroom"
The movie PAA… (AAP in reverse)
The Movie MAA ..(Similarly AAM in reverse)
A few took this a "guessical" chance
"No No, Were not talking about the Bachchans"
Political Partys

Not Kitty PAArties

AAplause
PAAuse
Broom, Vroom,
Dhoom, Doom

Sweep, Weep
Ho Ho Ho
Its us the people of the Mango

This DESH will be
No more Cagey
With this Fiery man Kejri
Nothing hidden behind his firewall
Enough is Enough says
Mr Kejriwal,
And we ask, Who?"
We the people( Tum ya tu)
Now respectfully AaP
The Aaposition shouts ShaddAAP
Everyone smiles, engages ,
Sending smses, emails and Whatsaap messages
... Huh...
This Bharat is going to change
(Nothing to do with Julian Assange)
But a simple ( symbolic ) man
Who challenged political greed
Set up a new Breed
Of people,
Similar to one who sat under the Pipal

(Not that old  Biddy
From Ralegaon Siddi)
But the Original, The One,
Not the bounder
We speak of The Buddha, the Founder 
Of a society that shun 
Want & Lust.

And to end this ode,
I must
Switch off from a poetic mode
Say SalaAAm
Aam Aadmi Party
We Pray you're here to Be.
Ram

Hope there is reason beyond this rhyme.
December 10th, 2014 as the Delhi Election goes into a possible Presidents Rule and as Anna Hazare goes into another Hunger Strike trying to regain lost ground..
